Sorry for two messages - maybe you're right. Your idea would have the definite plus of having translations of our message - which we would not get with an echo command. Sorry for double post :( Misha misha680 wrote: > > Hi Andreas: > > Yes thank you. Probably good to h

Hi Karsten: I like (from a technical viewpoint perhaps :) ) your idea of asking the user for confirmation. Is there any good examples/reference for using debconf for such a purpose in postrm? Thx Misha Karsten Hilbert wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 05, 2010 at 10:17:37AM -0700, misha680
