Package: anon-proxy
Version: 00.05.38+20080710-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.1.

If /etc/environment is empty, installation or removing/purging of anon-proxy 
fail. The reason is the grep call in 
line 50 of anon-proxy.postinst fails, if /etc/environment is empty. 

The same applies to line 29 of anon-proxy.prerm

As a result aptitude won't install/remove/upgrade any other package, making the 
system unusable/breaking security 
updates, etc. 

Workaround: create/remove/edit /etc/environment to be either a file with at 
least a 'space' in it or to be removed.
