Flashed N800 with new update. This means I lost all my software, including Privoxy.
My connection *was* set to use 127.0.0.1 as a proxy. I turned that off. But the Log shows that my Application manager continues to try to connect to 127.0.0.1.
I can get web pages, so the connection change worked.
I've installed terminal by tediously downloading each dependency. But this thing is next to useless if I can't use App Mgr to install software. I've searched for info about apt-get, but things seem to be configured differently on the N800. The repositories are listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, but this says nothing about 127.0.0.1. apt appears to normally get config settings from /etc/apt/apt.conf, but there is no such file.
*Something* on this machine is caching 127.0.0.1, despite turning off the proxy in the connection config (or even changing connections), but I can't work out what it is. Doubtless, this is easy to fix, but without help from someone who knows more about how apt works on this thing, I'm stuck.
*Please* help, if you can.
