Once again: correct. The good side of squid-deb-proxy-client is that it enables the autodetection of acng. For web browsers things are almost as easy: I use KDE and set the proxy globally, and ask web browsers to use the system's settings. So all I need to do if a few clicks every time a laptop changes networks. I used to switch proxies by hand... but I really want to avoid that as much as possible. > On Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:49:54 -0300 Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer > wrote: > > [...] > > > Please note that even passing LANG=C apt-listbug messages are kept in > > es_AR.UTF-8 > > Did you try with LC_ALL=C ? > Maybe you have LC_ALL=es_AR.UTF-8 and that takes precedence over LANG, > if I recall correctly (I don't remember whether this is a bug or a > feature!).
