Package: dovecot Version: 0.99.14-1 Severity: important Every time there is the smallest change in upstream config files, the config system gets invoked to ask terminal-based questions on what to do.
The "show differences" options spin CPU for a good 30 seconds before eventually they run. The "just give me a shell" option in fact just prints No terminal, and no DISPLAY set, can't fork shell. and is therefore equally useless. I can't even Ctrl-Z the program to fix it myself. My solution therefore is to just shell in again, vimdiff between the real config file and the one I find in /usr/share, then when I'm happy with the differences, just ask the config manager program to "keep installed version". Rather than making me bypass what othewise looks like a shiney mechanism, can it please be made to work nicer? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dovecot depends on: ii dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.4-2 secure IMAP server that supports m ii dovecot-pop3d 1:1.2.4-2 secure POP3 server that supports m dovecot recommends no packages. dovecot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
