Thats the content of the update-hosts-adblocking script:

----

#!/bin/sh
wget -O /tmp/hosts http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt && echo "127.0.0.1" $(uname -n) "localhost" > /etc/hosts && tr -d '\015' < /tmp/hosts >> /etc/hosts

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "ERROR! Updating the host failed"
    exit 1
else
    echo "Updated /etc/hosts"
    exit 0
fi

----

No backup file creation there. Be careful, no idea who controls the hosts.txt file.

The backup is created in postinst.

Разаобрался как оно работает ...

Скачивает актуальный хост файл из http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt

и подкладывает в систему.. в результате чего, надо понимать, нельзя получить контент с адресов указанных в хост файле ... как то так...

A bit of user guide would be nice. Can't see how this works.

Use the script `update-hosts-adblocking`. No options there. Just run as root with internet connection on. It backs up your original hosts to /etc/hosts.bak IIRC.

Sure, thought it'd be imported from control :)
