Package: brltty Version: 3.7.2-4 Severity: normal Hi, yesterday during an Etch packages upgrade I encountered the next problems: 1: no any question asked by debconf 2 while /etc/brltty.conf were overwritten by the default new brltty.conf, causing to not have braille when i rebooted. Another problem is, that dpkg-reconfigure brltty have no effect, it simply prompts the prompt:~# again: please if brltty.conf found, then ask if replacement is needed; or leave it unchanged, as it is in general for many other apps. Note: my Alva Satellite is connected on ttyS0, after the upgrade it was turned to USB while I hadn't asked for it.
