The default was already false and the template has been changed to a bit more scary wording. The dpkg check was just thought as an additional check that prevents the user from something obviously stupid. So it's: "if ( dh_answer==true and no_other_installed_server ) purge();" I will commit changes for 4.1, too and then test a bit. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
