I installed a new version of debconf on my off-line computer and debconf asked me if I wanted dialog, slang, text etc.. I chose slang, but it appears that there is some perl module missing so that I cannot get that. Why doesn't debconf check this before it give me the choice? Subsequently I cannot install the rest of the packages, because I cannot figure out where debconf puts it's config file so that I can hand edit debconf.
So my problem is: 1. I cannot uninstall debconf as too many packages need it. And reinstalling it does not work as the config files are still there. What do I do? Thanks for any hint in advance! PS: Never ever try installing a unstable Debian on a off-line machine. There are sooo many packages with basic faults that you will use days to get things working! -- Preben Randhol ------------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- «For me, Ada95 puts back the joy in programming.»
