Maybe it *is* a problem of Python ? (Though I have no clue where Python is called) I did a debconf reconfigure and find -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4820 2005-07-15 11:48 /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/debconf.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4820 2005-07-15 11:48 /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/debconf.pyo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72808 2005-07-15 11:48 config.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72812 2005-07-15 11:47 config.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2708446 2005-07-15 11:47 templates.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2708446 2005-07-15 11:40 templates.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72808 2005-07-15 11:48 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72812 2005-07-15 11:47 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2708446 2005-07-15 11:47 /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2708446 2005-07-15 11:40 /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat-old as changed files on a sane system, using # for files in `locate debconf`; do ls -l $files | grep 2005-07-15 ; done On the sick system I find -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74232 2005-07-15 11:51 config.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74232 2005-07-15 11:28 config.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2941851 2005-07-15 11:51 templates.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2941851 2005-07-15 11:28 templates.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74232 2005-07-15 11:51 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74232 2005-07-15 11:28 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat-old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2941851 2005-07-15 11:51 /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2941851 2005-07-15 11:28 /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat-old Meaning, the .pyc and .pyo cannot be created or are not being created.
