This is one of the problem which is why I don't like automatic conversions in RPMs (their use is strongly discouraged in Fedora/RHEL - AFAIK). Regarding your proposal: I don't think this is a good idea because installing/updating a RPM should never require user interaction. Just think of unattended, automated update solutions which would hang forever in this situation. Even worse, maybe some services were shut down during the update so essentially the system would remain in a non-functional state, requiring some manual intervention. Debian has debconf for that but this mechanism bit me several times. IMHO one should not do any conversion but provide user scripts which may be invoked with the correct credentials etc. fs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
