Well, there are still long filenames, but on my current machine Debian/unstable machine, I do not get any issue as such filenames get truncated in whiptail arguments. For instance: ┌──────────────────────┤ ca-certificates configuration ├───────────────────────┐ │ This package installs common CA (Certificate Authority) certificates in │ │ /usr/share/ca-certificates. . Please select the certificate authorities │ │ you trust so that their certificates are installed into /etc/ssl/certs. │ │ They will be compiled into a single /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt │ │ file. │ │ │ │ Certificates to activate: │ │ │ │ [*] mozilla/ACCVRAIZ1.crt │ [...] │ [*] mozilla/Autoridad_de_Certificacion_Firmaprofesional_CIF_... │ [...] I suppose that the bug has been fixed. It could have been the following bug in debconf: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478281 (fixed in 2019). I had a similar issue with grub-pc a few days before bug 478281 got fixed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919029 where the display part of the bug was apparently a consequence of bug 478281 as mentioned on the bug 919029 page. So this bug should probably be closed. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
