I'm running with target_configdb myself, so I doubt the latter is the case, but yes, it appears very d-i-specific somehow... > The full call is: > debconf-copydb -p \ > "^(debian-installer/language|debian-installer/country| > debian-installer/keymap|passwd/username)$" \ > configdb target_configdb trofast:~# grep Name: /target/var/cache/debconf/templates.dat Name: acpid/modules Name: acpid/noacpi Name: apache-common/confignotes Name: apache-common/logs Name: apache-common/old-logrotate-exists Name: passwd/username trofast:~# /usr/lib/cdebconf/debconf-copydb -p "^(debian-installer/language|debian-installer/country|debian-installer/keymap|passwd/username)$" configdb target_configdb trofast:~# grep Name: /target/var/cache/debconf/templates.dat Name: acpid/modules Name: acpid/noacpi Name: apache-common/confignotes Name: apache-common/logs Name: apache-common/old-logrotate-exists Name: passwd/username In other words, no big surprises here (my debconf database doesn't have any d-i keys). Do you have a copy of the source and target databases, as well as the cdebconf.conf used? It might be something specific about the data in the destination that makes cdebconf discard it... /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
