Hi Dann, If you look into the minissdpd configuration script (ie: /var/lib/dpkg/info/minissdpd.config) it does read what's in the /etc/default/minissdpd configuration file before attempting to configure the package. Maybe there's a problem in it, and you could try debugging it by adding a set -x in there? It would help a lot of you could show the output like that, so we can figure out where the problem is.
