How would previous changes to that file explain the current hang upon a --reinstall? At the present time the only changes I have outstanding are in the 10-mail.conf file. I do actually use etckeeper and can reach back in time to pull forward previous file versions. However the current state of those files is enough to trigger the problem so it doesn't seem necessary to reach back in time to find a previous version. The current state is sufficient to do it. > >Hmm...

I am not seeing any dialog prompts about merging new configuration files. I haven't seen any ucf prompts. If you are suspicious of the ucf config file handling then 10-mail.conf is locally modified. I will make some experients there. > >But again if I --reinstall then the problem is recreated. It is > >repeatable on my system. > > Unfortunately I can't reproduce this.

The state before and after are identical therefore I attach only one file for both. Bob
