That only happens when the default is at the Debian Installer / tasksel level. e.g. a change of default desktop for d-i only affects new d-i installs. A change of default compiler version *regularly* affects any existing setup which has build-essential installed and this is 100% correct. Nobody wants their pbuilder / schroot build environments stuck on an old version of the compiler - nor does anyone actually want to require manual intervention to go from gcc-4.8 to gcc-4.9 - that's what we have the gcc package. Same is true for the default python interpreter or various other default packages rather than "package selections" via tasksel or d-i. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
