If you're removing and reinstalling the package anyways, probably the easiest way is to tell dpkg to throw away all of the configuration files: dpkg --purge dhcp3-client dpkg --install dhcp3-client_*.deb Alternatively, you could probably use the --force-confmiss option to dpkg, but suggesting that someone use a --force option to dpkg feels dirty. :-) (It *is* necessary if you've lost the conffile and the package isn't one you can remove without breaking dependencies/your system; it might be nice if dpkg made this option a little less hidden, or even if APT exposed it.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
