Thank you. Indeed I didn't read debconf.conf(5) thorouhgly. Once I had found the sentence "that /etc/debconf.conf makes a good template for a personal ~/.debconfrc file" I just did it trial and error, and once I didn't get error messages from debconf-copydb for the first time I had forgotten that I didn't really understand what I did in .debconfrc. Excuse me, and thank you for answering all the questions of people here, instead of just writing (or thinking) RTFM. Bye, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt.
