However, the frontends differ even for one run of a tool. Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Package: general Severity: minor Hello, I was upgrading my system and several times I was asked for installing a new configuration file. Sometimes the question is posed in teletype style frontend sometimes in colour character terminal TUI style frontend. Can't this be consistent? I don't remember ever configurin the frontend to use but whatever is the default there should be only one default.

Hi Holger, On 5 Nov 2014 16:53, Holger Levsen hol...@layer-acht.org wrote: which tool did you use (how) to upgrade? I also experienced this when upgrading a system from squeeze to wheezy a few days ago. I followed the upgrade instructions in wheezy's release notes, i.e. using apt-get. I'll have a look through the logs to see if I can spot a pattern. Thanks -- Matt Wheeler http://funkyh.at
