Commit message
Set DEBIAN_FRONTEND when installing the metapackages
The specific reason why we're adding this now is a debconf message with
"error" priority which is printed at install time by a package (encfs)
which is brought in as indirect dependency of several flavor metapackages.
Note that normally the installation is done from ISO images, and therefore
the message is handled by the installer. In other words DEBIAN_FRONTEND is
set in a testbed setup stage users are normally not exposed to.
To post a comment you must log in.
I'm confused by your latest sentence in the commit message:
"We're not setting DEBIAN_ FRONTEND= noninteractive during the upgrade
process, which ideally we don't want to be blocked by debconf."
If we did not want the upgrade process blocked wouldn't we set the frontend to 'noninteractive'. We do want the upgrade to stop if there are debconf prompts so that is why it isn't set. Or am I misunderstanding?
