You could make a quick dirty "script" to fix it, I usually would do that manually, but it WILL mess up anything else in the /etc/ that you changed for your purposes. but what your doing would be: finding all files in /etc if the file has *.dpkg-new cp that to just * Any compiled package has the specific file name/path of the "config" it needs to start up, it doesn't want config.dpkg-new. You can see that it is a different file name yourself. ubuntu's karmic install doesn't take into account that you will quit in the middle. jon. On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 5:11 PM, Jon Bradley
