If you follow through on the bug reports they will give you the solution: download sources cd to download directory dpkg-source -x base-config*.dsc remove final slash from line 57 of /debian/postinst in base-config-2.70 cd base-config-2.70 ./debian/rules build sudo ./debian/rules binary cd .. sudo dpkg -i base-config*deb and everything now works. Or at least, this way worked for me. Otherwise, maybe you could revert to the previous version/ :) Fish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
