"But the most important thing is, that it keeps record of which configuration files you edited and auto-updates those that you haven't touched. After it has collected the necessary information it will most often only prompt you for intervention where it is really necessary". Thus, it seems that my etc-update is behaving like dispatch-conf, updating some files (the missing six) without notice. This sound strange. Shouldn't etc-update automerge them together with the other ones that require only trivial changes? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
