What's the best way to extract that info?Just found this command by trial and error: debconf-get-selections. Regards, MathiasNeat. But that gives everything. I need to extract just the debconf answers I gave during the dist-upgrade.One could copy/paste the answers during the actual process. But I forgot to do that.Sort of silly this problem. I will start hunting with an editor.
And the answer is: Configuring man-db Configuring mysql-server-5.0 Adduser Mail Server configuration Configuring portmap Configuring beep ca-certificates configuration Configuring gpm Configuring popularity-contest rkhunter Configuring hddtempwere displayed by debconf. I got the answers too: found out I had answered 'no' to popularity-contest so I reconfigured that.
Debconf should have an option to record its activities into a text file, the way it happened in the past.
Took 2 hours of hunting/pecking to get this info. Hugo
