Hello,
I've got the readline package installed, but don't quite remember what to
reconfigure to make installs use readline rather than ncurses or what ever
it's currently using.
I tried dpkg-reconfigure dpkg and that didn't seem to be it, ideas
appriciated.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

Try dpkg-reconfigure debconf. That should do what you want, but I
haven't tried it, so I could be wrong.

That is exactly it, although you may need the "-plow" option (actually -p,
with a parameter of low), to get it to reconfigure with a low priority, to
make sure you see all the questions.

ok I know the answer to this one and it is a simple question.
you need the following packages installed:
libterm-readline-gnu-perl
libterm-readline-perl-perl
then dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Regards, Kerry.
