Package: openoffice.org-bin Version: 1.1.1-3 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #243790
Hi, I'm seeing the same happen on my system here, in fact it's been happening throughout the last few openoffice.org upgrades but I assumed it was a debconf problem which would get fixed in due course. It turns out that debconf in question is working fine with the Readline frontend (verified with dpkg-reconfigure debconf). Having found this bug I'm attaching my installation information if it may be of any use. -mato Preparing to replace openoffice.org-bin 1.1.1-2 (using .../openoffice.org-bin_1.1.1-3_i386.deb) ...
