Or is there some flaw on my system?
No, it's a bug in the package (see http://bugs.debian.org/76449). I promised ages ago to do a non-maintainer upload to fix this, but forgot; now my GPG key has been the casualty of a disk crash and I haven't recovered it yet. QA people, could somebody NMU diald? My last message in the bug log explains how to fix it, and in the month and a half since I sent that I've heard nothing from the maintainer. It's one of our oldest release-critical bugs. Stig: in the meantime, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/diald.config, look for lines starting with 'db_input', and make sure they all end with '|| true'. Then run 'dpkg --configure diald' again. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
