Re: debconf wonky
Apologies for not replying to the thread; I didn't realise it was of
interest to me until I found it in the archives, by which time I'd
deleted it.
Anyway, in case anyone else is struggling with this:
Taking hints from Joey Hess, I did something like:
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
cp xserver-xfree86.templates xserver-xfree86.templates.old
sed s/^_// xserver-xfree86.templates.old > xserver-xfree86.templates
(I actually did that sed transformation to
/var/cache/debconf/templates.dat first; it probably wasn't necessary)
And it worked.
Thanks Joey, Marcelo, Antony.
Richard
