Description Simon 2006-02-13 11:48:56 UTC
When i run etc-update, and choose 1' as an option it fails. Not so strange, but it shuts down totaly, might be smart with some sort of error handeling. It just shutsdown, and can be restarted right away, so this bug has low priority.

Didnt find the version of etc-updater i use, neither --version or --info works. Might have been fixed already.

Nover very important
Could be done when someone has time.


                           (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'): 

1) Replace original with update
2) Delete update, keeping original as is
3) Interactively merge original with update
4) Show differences again

this is technically the same problem as bug 55082 and fixed in the next release
