I was just hit by this in an Etch->Lenny upgrade, and it's quite annoying as it's clear I never modified /etc/locale.alias myself. The system was earlier upgraded from Sarge to Etch, and my version of the file is in locales_2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6_all.deb, still available on the Debian FTP servers. The md5sum is bb5e3f18c56ca04addc8f62e43a38a1d /etc/locale.alias.dpkg-old I think having the preinst just remove /etc/locale.alias if its md5sum matches the above sarge version should work. The wiki page at http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/ConffileHandling might give some more ideas. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
