Hmmm, I'm unable to reproduce this bug. Could you send the /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-config.templates file to the bug log (if you suspect your MUA may alter its encoding, please gzip it before sending it)?
Which debconf interface do you use (I guess this is of no importance but just want to check in the same conditions, possibly)? -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
