No, it won't be those ones (empty's fine, I was thinking more of missing, of which there is one example, namely alsa-common/card-list). However, forget all that, because I misdiagnosed the problem by misreading the error message; it's the template that's undefined, not the description. This would suggest that you have some entries in config.dat that don't have entries matching their Template: value in templates.dat. By the rather crude method of binary-chopping through the repository with your templates.dat, I find that a fix went in for this in debconf 1.4.34: debconf (1.4.34) unstable; urgency=low * Skip questions with no known type also in debconf-get-selections. -- Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 1 Sep 2004 01:25:20 -0400 This patch never got backported to the sarge branch. Joey, would it be a good idea to backport this fix? It looks pretty safe. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
