Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-22 The config script says:
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 0.0.20040329-4; then # assume old behaviour NET_AGENT_POLICY="hotplug" fi Unfortunately, this doesn't work well on new installs, where [ "$2" = "" ] . Other packages resolve this along the lines of if [ -n "$2" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 0.0.20040329-4; then This bug is especially painful on unattended (e.g., FAI) installs; it causes any preseeding of hotplug/net_agent_policy in the debconf database to be overridden. As a workaround for sarge, one can do the preseeding via /etc/default/hotplug.usb (which gets deleted by the postinst script); but that's inelegant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
