I think we could have a quite uninvasive workaround to the priority changes problem: 1) record the *initial* priority just before starting first stage (the priority is either the default...or the one we had by setting DEBCONF_PRIORITY at boot prompt). This could be in debconf/initial-priority 2)run 1st stage with possible priority lowered because of "Go back" or errors 3)restore the initial priority at the end of 1st stage by copying the value of debconf/initial-priority back to debconf/priority 4)then 2nd will start at the same priority than 1st 5)at the end of 2nd stage, restore the priority to the initial priority again....and finally run "dpkg-reconfigure debconf" is the value is lower than "high". This will guarantee that the priority is always "high" at the end of the installation whatever happens during the install....and thus, the vast majority of users will use the recommended default. This may also require to change the default for debconf to "high". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
