Yes, if you 'really' want - but it'd be pointless.

I hadn't paid attention to that section before (thanks for the pointer). So it seems that /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy should work fine for the OP's purposes (it's my understanding that package maintainers should use a 2-digit prefix though). Unless there's another file (/etc/apt/apt.conf or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/loweraphanumericIndex), but I can't imagine how that would happen.. the OP said he created the snippet (fragment?) before the d-i proxy question, but if the answer was no /etc/apt/apt.d/90proxy shouldn't be created. > > > > --- > > Disclaimer: I'm using the older "apt-cacher" instead of "apt-cacher-ng" > and there are subtle differences in syntax. > I no longer use apt-cacher, but I don't recall any differences in how they process proxy directives in apt.conf or snippets in apt.conf.d/ >From memory apt.conf seems to take precedence over apt.conf.d directives Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
