Package: anon-proxy
Version: 00.02.39-7
Severity: grave

when using debconf to change the 'anon-proxy/environment' variable, or
when uninstalling anon-proxy and purging the configuration files,
anon-proxy's additions to /etc/environment are not removed.

In addition, the lines anon-proxy adds to /etc/environment are
dysfunctional, as they must include the port number the local anon-proxy
is running on (otherwise, e.g. wget or apt will try to connect to
http://localhost:80)

Given the fact that the installation of anon-proxy thus breaks unrelated
packages (wget, apt, any other making use of $http_proxy) even after it
is purged, I suggest this should be fixed in sarge. Hence the severity.
