I can confirm that the hang disappeared by quoting the passwords properly in ldap-debian-edu-install and kerberos-kdc-init. To fix the incorrect handling of passwords with '#' in them, I ended up copying and editing debconf-set-selection to fix bug #636219. I just completed a test installation with squeeze-test using *#secret#* as the password, and this time it worked just fine. I saw claims that #636219 is fixed in wheezy. We can remove this copy when we move to wheezy, or get a fix backported to squeeze and drop our workaround when it is in place. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
