Do they actually need to be translated, since they are hostnames? This would also get rid of translating _DefaultChoice, below. > > Default: local > > Using "_DefaultChoice:" would be great here. Again see "man > po-debconf" for details. To recap, since it's been a while, upstream has a large mirror network. They are trying to load balance requests, so they have set up a lot of aliases for the existing mirror network. For now, 'database.clamav.net' will work, and the DNS server attempts to point you to a mirror that is at least on your continent by looking at the requester's IP. Since this is error prone, they have set up ISO code based mirror names (db.uk.clamav.net, etc). Upstream has asked all the binary distributors to try to get users to start asking users to change to the new system, so that load balancing works a little better. So, I think, the question should be: Template: clamav-freshclam/local_mirror Type: select Choices: (really long list) Default: db.local.clamav.net _Description: Local database mirror site: Please select the closest local mirror site. . Freshclam updates it's database from a world wide network of mirror sites. Please select the mirror closest to you. If you leave it at the default setting, an attempt will be made to provide you with a nearby mirror, but this attempt may not always provide you with the closest mirror site. Does that seem reasonable? (ps: I am not subscribed - please cc me on replies. M-F-T set accordingly) Thanks all, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
