In this case there should be a value for the question as well as a list of possible alternatives, and none of them appear. Both wamerican and wbritish did not change in some time, so the problem should not be there. Unless Bertrand Marc provides info showing a different cause, this seems to be yet another variant of debconf database corruption, http://bugs.debian.org/335612 usually related to nearly full /var partitions. There have been a number of bug reports cused by this corruption (see also pages for #198297, #224400, #247849, #255193, #282587, #284287, #297534) with different problms #triggered. See /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.problems for more details about other effects of this corruption and how to recover your system if it appears. Will wait for more info before closing this bug report. Thanks for your feedback, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
