When using option -3 in etc-update if you choose "n" to not overwrite a file it just keeps returning to the question. Also I think backups of .conf files should be made, so i've modified the etc-update script see the URL above, a new feature -7 has also been added to delete all updates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run etc-update 2.choose option -3 3.when asked to replace a file choose "n" Actual Results: Replacing /etc/man.conf with /etc/._cfg1000_man.conf mv: overwrite `/etc/man.conf'? n Replacing /etc/man.conf with /etc/._cfg1000_man.conf mv: overwrite `/etc/man.conf'? n Expected Results: See URL with fixes, it should have gone onto the next file to be replaced.
