This package operates outside of apt, and can e.g. also work when installed through just invoking dpkg. It's possible to use the http_proxy environment var, but environment vars are not always passed around in a reliable manner, especially when using sudo. That makes it tricky to devise a way that will "always work". > Anyway, when reinstalling I also didn't get the debconf question... So, > I'm not sure how to make debconf me ask about proxy servers. Try: dpkg-reconfigure -plow msttcorefonts The question is asked at lower priority. Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
