While testing D-I with the install of the desktop task in French language, I have noticed that there are several successive prompts for dictionaries settings: -first choose between American English and "handle symlinks youself" -then choose between American English, "francais" and "handle symlinks youself" -then choose between "francais", "francais GUTenberg" and "handle symlinks youself" -then choose between "ameriucan English", "francais", "francais GUTenberg" and "handle symlinks youself" -finally choose between "american English", "british", "francais", "francais GUTenberg" and "handle symlinks youself" It seems that each time a new dictionary is added (by tasksel settings), the user is then prompted at high priority. This makes the default install a real pain, unfortunately, and this sounds really strange. More funnily, this was *not* happening a while ago during my tests of default installs in French. Is there something we can do about this...hopefully *before* Etch ? I suggest keeping the CC list in answers, unless Agustin explicitely says that dictionaries-common@p.d.o really reaches him (@p.d.o addresses need X-PTS-Approved headers, IIRC). --
