Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I'm sorry, but I don't see why these messages look funny. The look normal to me.

[Bug 342655] Re: Confusing debconf message when upgrading
I upgraded to Jaunty today and was confused by the systat question dialog too. What a user sees is this: Configuring sysstat [ ] Do you want post-installation script to remove these data files? [ Help ] The first reaction is "huh? what files?". The second reaction is to try the [ Help ] button, which, thankfully, explains everything. I would recommend this question to be rephrased to be understandable without reading the help message first. E.g. "Remove daily data statistics files from /var/log/sysstat/ (needed to make sar work)?" -- Confusing debconf message when upgrading https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to sysstat in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

It would be even better if sysstat didn't ask anything and just moved the obsolete data files to /var/log/sysstat.old, and added a notice in NEWS.Debian explaining why. Best, of course, would be to do the above (for backup purposes) *and* convert the data files into the new format automatically. -- Confusing debconf message when upgrading https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to sysstat in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

The checkbox says "Do you want post-installation script to remove these data files?". I thought that checkboxes are supposed to have statements next to them, not questions. I had to think about what would happen if I clicked the check button. Also, critical information as to what the checkbox's question means is shown after you click the help button. I know this is graphical debconf, but I don't think it's being done very well. This bug isn't very important, but I think the behavior shown is suboptimal. It would be better if a yes/no question had buttons for yes and no and the question was more descriptive, i.e. "Remove files in /var/log/sysstat?". ~thomas -- cartwheel ^(^_^)> v(.-.)v <(^_^)^ -- Confusing debconf message when upgrading https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to sysstat in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
