Hi Manoj, Miles, Hilmar, Joey, Hilmar reassigned this bug to ucf and forgot to send a copy to Manoj ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), usually (always?) the mail forwarding is faster than the reassigning. I doubt, however, that the reassigning was correct at all, it is rather in debconf, or something completely different.

It is called from the ucf command. As we in tetex > don't call the command directly[1] but rather ucf I'm reassigning. ucf doesn't call it, either, it just sources /usr/share/debconf/confmodule. And it does that only if the file exists. Therefore it seems that debconf doesn't check properly whether debconf-utils is installed - by the way, Miles, which versions of debconf* do you have installed? Please give us the output of dpkg -l "debconf*" Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
