Interesting. I am runnind dpkg (1.10.25) which seems to be the latest version. I use dselect to update and do have a /etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg, which was install there by dselect. It has no options enabled at all. Its man page is a copy of the dpkg.cfg manpage with only the dpkg changed to dselect. Odd that dpkg doesn't install its .cfg file in that dir as well. > > # dpkg configuration file > # > # This file can contain default options for dpkg. All commandline > # options are allowed.
