I do not understand why it wasn't asked on upgrade. It is asked at priority critical. Even if you, for some reason, did not see it, the default is to continue with your config file unchanged. But you say it broke it one more time? That is hard to believe. I've tested this quite a bit ... just did some more testing; I can't reproduce it. > Where is that setting saved? debconf is not a registry so it must not > be used for keeping state. The fact that you answered the question is remembered by debconf. That is a feature that is used by ALL packages. You can also be lucky that it does that or else you would go mad during every upgrade, because you would have to answer all question of the packages you upgrade all over again. If for some reason you blow away your debconf database, that is no problem. You will just have to answer the question again; That is right debconf is not a registry and we do not use it as one. grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
