2001-05-24 Thread Stephen R Marenka
While working on woody boot-floppies on my oldworld powermac, I noticed that powerpc-utils seems to ignore the DEBIAN_FRONTEND=Noninteractive. It thus fails to configure. This is a required package. How do I figure out what's at fault and fix it or where should I file a bug? Thanks, Stephen --
