Before 0.99.5 this question was only shown with priority=medium. You probably configured Debconf not to show medium prios. Now it's high and should be shown in every case. In that case, I would suggest you fix the error message. As requested via Debconf, the Quagga daemon will not stop. Not stopping the daemon does not imply failing to remove the package.

Do you think that users expect Debian to be able to remove the package and thus the daemon's binary and maybe config files while it is still running? :) Technically this would be a very bad idea at least :) bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But to get the new Quagga version into effect it has to be stopped and started? Or do you just want to install a new version now and schedule a reboot later? (that would be tricky for a Debian package with a server) Technically this would be a very bad idea at least :) Probably but you can remove openssh-server without breaking your ssh connection. Let's say I am spoiled. sshd forks new processes for every connection so that the main sshd can indeed be removed. So it's indeed a different thing :) bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
