No such file or directory when trying to create a file with nano
I am trying to create a new file:
nano/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy
When upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, but I'm getting the error:
No such file or directory
command-line nano

Have you tried to runnano/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxyliterally? Try it with a space after the command name:nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy. You’ll need root permissions for that.

Have you tried to run
nano/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy literally? Try it with a space after the command name: nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy. You’ll need root permissions for that.– Melebius

It seems like there is a typo in your question because there would normally be a blank space between nano and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/... To create a new file named 02proxy in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory (which normally already exists) open the terminal and type:
sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy
To open the 02proxy file for editing in nano text editor:
sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy
Nano text editor keyboard shortcuts
Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + O and after that press Enter to save the file to its current location.
Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + X to exit nano.
