That is of course a good argument. But: These options are already used at some points during the softupdate - I would at least propose to make it consistent. In the same file (/usr/lib/fai/updatebase) both options are used directly before during "apt-get update" and "apt-get check", and (if that check fails) also during the first apt-get install. And also the file /usr/sbin/install_packages contains these options. My problem was: if the softupdate is started automatically, e.g. by cron, it is impossible for me to answer the question... > Another approach could be, that the admin is resposible for setting > his prefered options in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, when doing softupdtes.

But then I would propose it, if this options are set e.g. in the fai-quickstart examples, such that every new user directly knows, that they have to be activated in order to have completely automatic soft-updates (I spent some time to identify this problem, as I exceptected that the softupdate's would work "out-of-the-box" completely automatic). regards, Axel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
