Yes, I had the same problem. Seems to be a problem with debconf. I ran: dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=text debconf Somewhere along the way, it prompts you for your front-end. Select "text" instead of dialog. You can then continue with apt-get. You won't get the fancy graphical screen, but it will work and that seems more important. rgds-- TA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me.
