This is what I've discovered. I took the Snort (2.0.0-2) source package, modified the build dependencies to match the appropriate package versions that were in stable, and build a new source package and then ran pbuilder over it. It built fine, but when I installed it, all the debconf dialog boxes came up without any messages. Andrew
