Package: fai Version: 2.8.4 Followup-For: Bug #307266 Hey, I was just looking at the example file[1] in your package, and it looks like it used spaces in the debconf info. I have just found out the hard way that it prefers tabs. I thought this might be related to your problem, and you might want to put something in the readme file about it. Copy/paste from a terminal often yields spaces instead of tabs, which causes unexpected results.
for example, the first line here yields "apm" for the X driver (regardless of which driver you try to use), and the second yields the expected result: xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver select nv xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver select nv -- Eldon Koyle [1] /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/simple/debconf/FAIBASE -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages fai depends on: ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.13 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- Lots of folks are forced to skimp to support a government that won't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
