hi, This is my first posting here .. Ok, I also had the postinst hang-up with tetex-base after an upgrade i made last night (i386). There was a new option i've been asked by debconf.. something about sharing generated fonts .. I don't know if these two things are linked .. but i just wanted to tell it. After modifying the postinst script like discussed in the postings earlier i got a successfull dpkg --configure -a cu CKBe -- User fault. Kernel dumped.
