Package: base-config Version: 1.73 Severity: normal
I suspect base-config to automatically answer yes to the "Do you want to delete any previously downloaded package files?" It probably happened when during a debian installaiion I managed to import /var/cache/apt/archives via NFS or when I used base-config to "set" my RTC to UTC that most of our package collection on our file server got deleted. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux b 2.4.20 #5 Thu Jun 5 11:43:49 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.51 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.14 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12-3 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-18 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-44 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.3.15 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.3-8 Change and administer password and -- debconf information: tzconfig/select_zone: tzconfig/verify_choices: * base-config/intro: * apt-setup/security-updates: true * base-config/run-tasksel: false * apt-setup/another: false base-config/stop-ppp: true * apt-setup/mirror: gd.tuwien.ac.at base-config/start-display-manager: true apt-setup/directory: /opsys/linux/debian/ base-config/install-problem: true tzconfig/change_timezone: false * base-config/pkgsel: nothing - you may manually run apt-get or any of the above later apt-setup/cd/another: false * apt-setup/non-free: true apt-setup/badedit: * apt-setup/non-us: true apt-setup/baddir: apt-setup/hostname: gd.tuwien.ac.at base-config/login: * tzconfig/gmt: true * apt-setup/contrib: true apt-setup/non-us-failed: * tzconfig/geographic_area: Europe * base-config/run-dselect: false * apt-setup/http_proxy: apt-setup/cd/dev: /dev/cdrom * apt-setup/country: Austria * base-config/remove-pcmcia: true apt-setup/badsource: * base-config/use-ppp: false apt-setup/uri_type: cdrom apt-setup/not-mirror: base-config/get-hostname: ${HOSTNAME} base-config/retry-ppp: true * base-config/login-with-tty: apt-setup/security-updates-failed: apt-setup/cd/bad: apt-setup/distribution: stable base-config/invalid-hostname: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
