 Hello, 
  
 Chime Hart, le sam. 27 sept. 2025 16:28:36 -0700, a ecrit:

 between the versions            5. show a 3-way difference between available 
 versions  7. start a new shell to examine the situation 
 >   2. keep the local version currently installed  4. show a side-by-side 
 difference between the versions  6. do a 3-way merge between available 
 versions 
  
 Inside the debian installer, this was changed to use horizontal 
 numbering, so that the speech-enabled installer says choices in proper 
 order, but in the installed system that's not enabled, one would have to 
  
 export DEBCONF_TEXT_HORIZ=1 
  
 in the root environment. 
  
 I'm however wondering: can we not just default to horizontal numbering?
