--- Begin Message ---Package: sash Version: 3.7-7.2 Severity: important Hi, I installed sash as part of some other dependency or recommends or something. My debconf priority default is "high", and so it created a "sashroot" account by default, which I most _certainly_ did not want. After learning that there were debconf options for this, I ran: dpkg-reconfigure -plow sash But no questions were asked. In fact, there seems to be no way to force it to ask questions, because "/var/lib/dpkg/info/sash.config" refuses to do anything if the "sashroot" account exists! Furthermore you will notice that, with a debconf priority defaulting to "high", the commands apt-get install sash apt-get --purge remove sash on a fresh system will leave junk in /etc/passwd, which is just crap. -jim -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sash depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.18 Debian configuration management sy ii lockfile-progs 0.1.11 Programs for locking and unlocking ii passwd 1:4.1.0-2 change and administer password and sash recommends no packages. -- debconf information: sash/create_sashroot: true sash/delete_sashroot_on_remove: false sash/change_root_shell: false sash/clone_root_passwd: true
