Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.21 Severity: normal Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.23 release: testing
'delete downloaded .debs ?' has wrong default after installing packages with dselect, user is presented with question 'do you want to delete any downloaded .debs' (or something like it), answer to this question defaults to Y ; because dselect is sometimes slow on my machine, and keyboard buffer is not flushed when this question is asked, this has caused me loss of a couple of hours of downloads. i would like this question to default to no, because it is safest choice, and because if inadvertently agreed to, it can be easily undone. current situation works by paying extra attention, but is a bit clumsy and error-prone. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux Si 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-11.5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11woody1 The GNU stdc++ library
