And I have greatly simplified my potato => woody updates by seeding the debconf database with answers to anticipated questions. With database overloading, there is even a mechanism in place to allow things like that, but it didn't work when I tried. Had to brute my answers into the "real" debconf database with a small perl script :-( Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
