1) Replace original with update
2) Delete update, keeping original as is
3) Interactively merge original with update
4) Show differences again
Please select from the menu above (-1 to ignore this update): 1
/usr/sbin/etc-update: line 233: read: 1: syntax error: operand expected (error t
oken is "1")
Exiting: User termination!
bash-2.05b#

This is actually better then when I tried to update other selections with etc-update, all I get with those is a display full of garbage characters and then the xterm window locks up on Me. I guess I should be happy etc-update terminated before it actually started trying to alter the above config file.

Hello,

What terminal are you using? What happens if you run etc-update under the console(that u can access through ALT-F1...), not under xterm? I had no problems using etc-update under gnome-terminal, YMMV.

regards,

I tried Konsole(since I'm in KDE) and Eterm, same results.

Ok I fixed it via a suggestion from the mailing list, Here is an example of what I did:
Code:

cp /etc/sound/events/._cfg0000_mailcheck.soundlist /etc/sound/events/mailcheck.soundlist

I did that for each of the 11 files I had to update and it seems to work but I'm worried that this isn't a one-time problem, if it isn't then I'm screwed.

Those are coded in UTF-8, and yes, they'll probably reappear every time you'll upgrade some i18n-enhanced application. What's your locale?
