This was during an nl_NL installation, so I'm afraid some messages are translated. Quick translation guide: - Ophalen = Downloading - Extraheren van sjablonen = Extracting templates - Voorconfigureren van pakketten = Preconfiguring packages - Uitpakken van = Extracting - Instellen van = Configuring If you compare the two attached logs (the interesting bit is just after line 2000), you will see that: - in the normal case (with the newt frontend) after packages are downloaded, there are steps for ""extracting templates" and for "preconfiguring packages"; - in the broken case (with the gtk frontend) after packages are downloaded, these steps are missing! Of course this does explain why questions are asked later: dict-common depends on preconfiguration to "preseed" the values and defaults for the wordlist selection and, because this is missing, does not flag the questions as "seen". This seems to be triggered by the fact that "old" choices and "new" choices are unequal as can be seen near "Instellen van wamerican" around line 2450-2500. My preliminary conclusion is that this is not a bug in dict-common, but rather a serious bug somewhere in the installer or in the package management tools. I'll try to see if I can get a handle on it. Cheers, FJP
