Ok I've done so now with: <http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=6f037003> and <http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=4da6f227> Also once #486222 is fixed (next apt upload it seems), then it will be possible to always Ctrl-Z on the prompt achieving the same result, so no functionality lost after all! regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
