Re: testing broken[?]
I was foolish enough to continue after seeing that.
I ended up restoring from backup.
The damage to my system:
util-linux was gone
lilo was gone (system unbootable)
perl5.6 not installable
debconf broken (Config.pm complaints, among others)
update-mime broken (Glob.pm complaints)
30+ other packages not configured/removed
No data loss, but only because I have lots of partitions
and I occaisionally make backups.
After this I would really like to see debconf be optional.
Yeah, I know, if I want Slack I know where to find it ;-).
