Package: debconf Version: 1.4.71 Severity: important I tried the kde frontend of debconf, it is nice, but right after I had some troubles with xorg server and ati drivers , and it was very hard to get back to a normal situation because each time I tried to reinstall debian's xserver-xorg package, the installation failed with an error message telling that some program could not connect to X server. The X server was not running and not able to run at this time.
I think that debconf should use the kde frontend when it is set AND when the X server is available, and should fall back to dialog or another console compatible frontend when X isn't available instead of just aborting. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.4 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages debconf depends on: ii debconf-i18n 1.4.71 full internationalization support ii perl-base 5.8.8-2 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis Versions of packages debconf recommends: ii apt-utils 0.6.43.3 APT utility programs -- debconf information: debconf-apt-progress/preparing: debconf-apt-progress/title: debconf-apt-progress/info: * debconf/frontend: Dialog * debconf/priority: low -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
