Sounds like your debconf frontend is broken. Try this: dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=text debconf Use that to change debconf's default frontend to 'text' and then things should work. If they do, try reconfiguring debconf again to use the 'dialog' frontend. If that works, great; if not, then it's broken so go back to text, upgrade debconf if possible, check the debconf buglist to see if anyone else has had the same problem, etc. Andrew. -- Andrew Shugg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.neep.com.au/ "Just remember, Mr Fawlty, there's always someone worse off than yourself."
