dpkg-reconfigure debconf
During a normal Sid upgrade to the latest xorg, some thing went wrong and it didn't work. When it rebooted and dropped me straight to a terminal, I said, no problem; I'll apt-get install xserver-xorg. It didn't work. I removed X (since it never compiled properly in the first place) and tried to reinstall it. It needs debconf and friends. Well, I had set dpkg-reconfigure debconf to use KDE-style dialogues. That's very nice, but now I need to use it with out X so that I can get X.
So, the question is: How do I reconfigure debconf to use dialogue (or which ever the option it is not to use KDE or Gnome style dialogues)?
Thanks kindly in advance.
(And yes, I know removing X wasn't so smart. I admitt, I gaffed a bit. Please don't boil me in a cauldron.... ;) )
