is this the same thing that dpkg --configure runs?

I know some and am learning more. But it's not pleasant to have the types of Linuxconf 
(on RedHat) wipe out your hard work while you're sleeping. YaST (on SuSE) doesn't do 
that (it creates a separate .Suseconfig file instead) and I'm hoping that Debian won't 
do either.

And one more problem:
I've installed potato and upgraded to woody and there's some problem with libpaperg . 
removing that (and hitting enter instead of X) wiped out my base packages. Is this a 
problem with libpaperg or debconf perl modules or should I not updrade potato to woody?

Thanks,
Indraneel
