Public bug reported: I just branched update-notifier (rev 161), changed the debian/changlog and built the packages. The installation of update-notifier-common package failed (see below).
Currently my system doesn't know anything about the needed http_proxy. The ubuntu repository is mirrored on a LAN server, so for normal updates a proxy is not needed. After uninstalling the dltest package, the installation of update-notifier-common worked. I suppose the installation would work if I had set http_proxy, too I'd expect that the installation of that package would work even the proxy configuration is missing or other reasons the external file is not reachable. sudo dpkg -i ../update-notifier-common_0.119ubuntu10+nmu1_all.deb (Lese Datenbank ... 370567 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.)
