ah well, it would be easy to do it with debconf but joey hess told me today that debconf isn't cooperating if you have other programs who also access the standard file descriptors. that's probably why i can't get my patch working, although it's legal wrt the tutorial/docs. so, some other approach must be taken but i'll wait for joey hess to kill his backlog and handle this properly or he tells me to come up with something differently ... i could imagine that 75apt-get is passed the answer of a "db_get base-config/remove-packages"-call which is placed in some other script where stdin/-out isn't an issue. but that's just an idea i just found. but ugly imho ... what shalls. so long Othmar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
