Uh. The dpkg/methods script is ment to be used with dselect and really is intrinsically interactive. If you think base-config should not be prompting then it probably should be patched to call apt-get directly. Your patch does not include any options to make apt-get non-interactive (which would be insanely dangerous) so it's mostly ineffective IMO. Jason
