I've never had this reported before. What versions of man-db and debconf do you have? I'm sure Joey can correct me if I'm wrong, but db_get and db_fget should only return non-zero if the question doesn't exist or if there's a syntax error. The various lines in question are: db_get man-db/install-setuid db_fget man-db/build-database seen db_get man-db/build-database db_get man-db/rebuild-database All of those seem valid and exist in the templates file, so I don't understand what could be going on. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
