Thanks for the quick replies. Yes I will copy the apt.conf from the examples and modify that, but this doesn't answer the question that there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf configuration file and yet apt-config dumps configuration data to the screen that it has read from somewhere. Where is this "default" configuration data being read from? This is an up to date Lenny install upgraded directly from etch. Apt has not been manually configured, so this is the default configuration that apt was installed with. What is the name of the file that apt-config reads when there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf file?
