Hi there people,

unfortunately still no luck with the gpg-key.

Can you guys give me an alternative on where to post the following?

Failures of dpkg-reconfigure in Jaunty:

Setup:

thomas@thomas-laptop:~$ sudo su

[sudo] password for thomas:
root@thomas-laptop:/home/thomas# dpkg-reconfigure -p low debconf
Configuring debconf
-------------------

Packages that use debconf for configuration share a common look and feel. You

can select the type of user interface they use.

The dialog frontend is a full-screen, character based interface, while the
readline frontend uses a more traditional plain text interface, and both the
gnome and kde frontends are modern X interfaces, fitting the respective desktops

(but may be used in any X environment). The editor frontend lets you configure
things using your favorite text editor. The noninteractive frontend never asks
you any questions.

* 1. Dialog* 2. Readline* 3. Gnome* 4. Kde* 5. Editor* 6. Noninteractive


Interface to use: 2


Debconf prioritizes the questions it asks you. Pick the lowest priority of
question you want to see:
* - 'critical' only prompts you if the system might break.
*** Pick it if you are a newbie, or in a hurry.

* - 'high' is for rather important questions
* - 'medium' is for normal questions
* - 'low' is for control freaks who want to see everything


Note that no matter what level you pick here, you will be able to see every

question if you reconfigure a package with dpkg-reconfigure.

* 1. critical* 2. high* 3. medium* 4. low

Ignore questions with a priority less than: 4

Hi there,

sorry for previous post.

I think this 'bug' was caused because I seem to have done: $ gnome-terminal and then sudo su (in new terminal) and then dpkg-reconfigure. I then closed the first terminal or su'd it, I do not recall.


Also I ran attach <PID> and not <PID> -au obviously..

Please ignore this post.
