I hope you mean "since nsswitch.conf is a conffile" here. Ok, I'm going to make nsswitch.conf not to be a conffile in two steps: Step 1. Undo the change made in base-files 3.1.8 and go back to the previous default nsswitch.conf. Step 2. After the package reaches testing, base-files is updated again so that the file is created in the postinst (i.e. debootstrap), instead of it being a conffile. Then libnss-mdns should be free to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf, provided the user is asked a suitable debconf question having a suitable priority and a suitable default answer. Then things will "just work", as everybody wants. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
