Dpkg problems...


Hello, I am using Knoppix hdinstall 3.3 and i did a distro-upgrade, and everthing was going fine until it got to

root@MyBox:/home/knoppix# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up foomatic-filters (3.0.0-20031207-1) ...
Configuration file `/etc/foomatic/filter.conf'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a new shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** filter.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

After i type Y or N or anything, dpkg just stops. Is there anyway I can fix this, skip this package, or just plain over ride it? I have tried force overwrite, and I have no idea what to do.

Thanks for the help

Sam

echo foomatic purge | dpkg --set-selections

See this form for a total full list of apt-get/dpkg options.
