You don't need to put '\n' in templates. If you indent a paragraph with two spaces debconf will keep the word wrapping as it is in the template. See attached templates file. Matthias
Template: desktop-profiles/replace-old-vars Type: note _Description: Global gconf path file needs to be changed! The include directives used by desktop-profiles have changed (in response to bug 309978, see the bug report and corresponding entry in the changelog of version 1.4.6 of this package for details). . To reenable gconf profiles you need to change /etc/gconf/2/path as follows: - 'include /var/cache/desktop-profiles/\$(USER)_mandatory.path' should be 'include \$(ENV_MANDATORY_PATH)' and - 'include /var/cache/desktop-profiles/\$(USER)_defaults.path' should be 'include \$(ENV_DEFAULTS_PATH)'
