Hello Frank, ok, I updated at home (testing alpha). I chose "yes" and again I was not asked any selection. The wording was very clear now.

(there may have been more, but I just happend to come by on the console). But since I had some strange things happening (especially with latex) lately, which went away after a re-install/reboot, I (unfortunately) suspect my machine. I saved /tmp/tetex.postinst.XXCf6vqM and will run a dpkg-reconfigure tetex-base tomorrow, after a reboot. Finally I think the wording of NEWS.Debian.gz should be improved. Please note that I am not a native speaker, so my changes might be unnecessary or not 100% correct either. I can file a wishlist bug if you'd like: Since we introduced debconf management of hyphenation patterns during the development of the 2.0.2 packages, this mechanism has been the default. What is the default here? The debconf-management? I'd suggest: During the development of the 2.0.2 packages, the hyphenation patterns were managed via debconf by default. Of course you loose the "introduce", but IMHO it is less important when the debconf management was introduced, but rather important when the default started (changed). switched to enable I don't think you can say that. Maybe switched the default settings to enable or even better changed the default settings to enable If you want to get back to the new default Well, going back is incorrect here. I know what you mean, maybe If you want to use the new default, Greetings Helge P.S. How long do you wait for an answer for the new debconf (approx)? I also saw a fuzzy string in one of the po-files in CVS. -- Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
