Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.22 Severity: wishlist debconf rules! For all these reasons it's nessisary to postpone the conflict management that conffile's mandate until we are finished managing(installing/upgrading/configuring/blah/blah/blah) packages.
We should also consider expanding this to all the other questions/prompts/foo/bar that for one reason or another can't be a (pre)debconf. This should be sufficient to allow a fully uninterrupted upgrade process. I should not have to explain the importance of this, but unless you live under a rock you know that...(breath) upgrading can cause pkgs(squid!) to be unconfigured for long periods of time. To reduce this the above solution can *minimize the chance that something important will not be started if you should have to leave your computer. * As a mile stone we should totally eliminate the **need for interrupting upgrades, in all the(4000000*10^34) pkgs. ** Provide ***garentied uniterupted upgrades. *** At the cost that some old conf file may still be in place after the upgrade. **** I din't put 4 stars next to anything. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (980, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (20, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.96-5 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
