Can you please send me the md5sum of the conffile that was generated for you in the default install? I'll add it then to our maintainer scripts to avoid this conffile prompt. > This package probably needs to use ucf to detect whether this file was > changed from the debconf-generated one. lenny's mplayer package used debconf to ask various weird questions. Since then, we just install a default config file with sane defaults and rely on dpkg's conffile mechanism. This should in the long run cause less trouble, but for the lenny->squeeze upgrade, I agree that this is unpleasent. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
