Ian Jackson wins with the 2nd and 3rd place bugs: #825: trn 825 798575581 forwarded [EMAIL PROTECTED] normal #957: dpkg 957 802533782 open [EMAIL PROTECTED] wishlist Followed, in fourth place, by the classic dselect bug #1555 which apparantly isn't a bug, according to the author, "This isn't exactly a bug report" and details something that we've all said at some time or another, "... still find the keybindings to be awkward. Since this is probably just a matter of personal taste, could dselect be modified to get its keybindings from a config file (e.g., /etc/dpkg/keybindings)???" micah
