I too remember that it was a simple command. I ran into it when I was installing Etch testing on my AMD64 system. Look in the amd64 list archives. It was a one-word command that forced dpkg-reconfigure to overwrite the file when it wouldn't do it. And yes, the problem applied to a file that the user hadn't altered at all. It may be dexconf. It unconditionally overwrites its destination file without checking if it has been altered. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
