Technically, anything that is modified to configure the system is a conffile. I would like to see a way of manually declaring a file as a conffile. We have dpkg-divert, which perhaps is adequate, but that's not quite the same thing. [I'd also like to see dpkg's ncurses handling be fixed so that when I background/forground it I don't lose information off the screen. The way I normally run dpkg (inside screen running under an xterm) it's really awful. I've filed a bug report on this, of course.] -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
