Are you upgrading to unstable or testing? I remember seeing something like this in testing a few weeks ago. Once you get all the packages installed, it should go away... You could turn of preconfig by commenting the line in /etc/apt/apt.conf. (It's not needed, it just lets you run the config scripts all at once, instead of sitting around while it gets around to asking you stuff every now and then...) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
