I see your point. Is there a generally accepted term that should be used instead? "Managed by the postinst script" is too technical, "managed by the package configuration mechanism" sounds too vague to me. > Also, the "if you accept" / "if you do not accept" is some of the more > clumsy English I have seen outside of 419 scams. Accept what? Hm, that comes from the desire to phrase it in a way that will be understandable in different frontends, in the readline where you have to type "yes" as well as in the X-based ones where you simply click a checkbox. The intended meaning is "if you choose to let the postinst script handle things"; what wording do you suggest? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
