The bug is still there. But I've found that it's only present when installing by apt-get or aptitude. dpkg -i ... works well. I think standalone dpkg doesn't run config script while apt and aptitude does. I did some investigating what happens here. After running config script, there is right value in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat: Name: xprint-common/default_printer_resolution Template: xprint-common/default_printer_resolution Value: 180 Owners: xprint-common Flags: seen But then postinst is run and content of this file changes to Name: xprint-common/default_printer_resolution Template: xprint-common/default_printer_resolution Value: 600 Owners: xprint-common Flags: seen It seems to me very strange :-/. -- Marcel Sebek
