Yes. Perhaps it is my greater time with Red Hat / Fedora than debian / Ubuntu, but I don't like this aspect of debian. Note: I'm not talking theory, I'm talking experience. When I'm asked by debian (dpkg) what I want to do in the face of a config file change, I'm not in a great position to deal with it (my system is in a halfway state and out of production). The tools they give for dealing with it are not that useful (although I could not do better). Dealing with this before the upgrade is initiated might work. Fedora's fire and forget updates are better. Another version of this: the RPM guidelines say that package installation should NOT be interactive. This turns out to be a win. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
