I will file a bug if think it's best. I ran the command as you specified and it seems that their are some questions that need to be answered and the the install/configure process is getting in a loop. How does one reset the importance level of questions that will be displayed during an install? Here is a snippet of the output of the command: debconf (developer): --> 0 ok debconf (developer): <-- GET bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name debconf (developer): --> 0 debconf (developer): <-- FGET bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd seen debconf (developer): --> 0 false debconf (developer): <-- SET bugzilla/pwd_check debconf (developer): --> 0 value set debconf (developer): <-- BEGINBLOCK debconf (developer): --> 0 debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_real_name debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped debconf (developer): <-- ENDBLOCK debconf (developer): --> 0 debconf (developer): <-- GO debconf (developer): --> 0 ok debconf (developer): <-- GET bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name debconf (developer): --> 0 debconf (developer): <-- FGET bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd seen debconf (developer): --> 0 false debconf (developer): <-- SET bugzilla/pwd_check Thanks for the tip! ===== - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hacking is a "Good Thing!"
