Unfortunately, this does not happen in the install-time-note-free Red Hat world. I see RH package upgrades break^Wchange things which are not obviously documented and would benefit from a note (or, a la debconf, an email) just mentioning what has occurred. I much prefer the opportunity to warn the admin at install time. Dave
