Title:
  update-notifier-common installation may fail on unclean system

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.

  I'd have a look at this bug after or meanwhile I am solving my proxy
  issue.
