ii ucf 3.007 Update Configuration File: preserve user cha
I logged in via ssh from my local console via another machine
( local -> intermediate -> alpha). The local and intermediate machine
run stable, the alpha (where the error occured) is running sid. The
intermediate and alpha do not have X running and xterm is (should) not
be present (should because it might by accident, I can check if
necessary).
I saw this particular debconf prompt for the first time, up to now I
was always confronted with a text version (which worked fine as well).
I cannot tell, if there is output on some other channel (VT, ..) as I
do not have local access to the alpha.

Looks like I have a fixed version, then.
If there is anything I can try (besides using "diff" instead of
"sdiff") please tell me.
