Used privoxy for some time, and uninstalled it afterwards. Now software installation from the terminal is using the privoxy data, with messages like:

Failed to fetch http://... Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8118 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111: Connection refused)

Any idea on how to restore the previous configuration?

The proxy settings are stored in the http_proxy environment variable.

Check your startup configuration files like ~/.bashrc, /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/environment, etc. and look for a line like this, remove it, then log out and log back in again:

export http_proxy="http://host:port"

For a temporary solution, you can use this command from a terminal:

unset http_proxy
