Hi there Chris, yes I certainly did accept the license. I will try to be more complete here: it happened somewhere in the new 2.6.28-4 kernels. Someone has upgraded the dpkg-reconfigure command. It works all in all just great now.
<below: dpkg-reconfigure -p low debconf ; choose 2. readline + (priority) 4. low> Improvements: when running dpkg-reconfiguring -au (-p low is now automated): when hit ca-certificates-java, all previous chosen certificates (141!) are remembered. Just click enter. Autorisation for PAM options are remembered. Just click enter. (e.g. 1. unix 2. consolekit 3. libpam-ldap 4. ecrypt* 5. cracklib ....) flashplugin-nonfree is remembered. Problem: previously the install directory had to be typed in manual. The first time I noticed this: accept license option was remembered, but displayed as yes; instead of y (the obvious choice upon previous prompt Y/n). Also download directory was remembered: /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree. Since 2.6.28-4.8 this became deprecated. When I fill in /var/cache /flashplugin-nonfree the problem occurs. I am now still running dpkg- reconfigure -au. When that is finished I can still root# rm /var/cache /flashplugin-nonfree/* ; dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree (leave download directory blank - option yes fir license is remembered - this was last time anyway) It seems like 1 kernel a day now with alfa-3, and I run this after every upgrade requiring reboot. Other than that this command is perfectly improved! (except some esthetics, like WARNING this + cannot rm that - I does not bother me and is overread) Is there a dpkg alternative for this command (like dpkg -i instead of install something /somewhere)? Is a gdb-backtrace possible of debconf or gkdebconf? (if needed) Should I try: $ apt-get source flashplugin-nonfree ; $ sudo su and root# rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/* ; cp ~/somestuff /var/cache /flashplugin-nonfree tho...@thomas-laptop:~$ apt-get source flashplugin-nonfree Reading package lists...
