Hello,
sorry it this is a stupid question..
I wish to upgrade a few servers from woody to sarge, including the
exim4 package and I want to do it automatically because I may not
have ssh access.
The problem is when it comes to configure the exim4, exim4-base
packages.
The installer display the question regardless of any of the frontend
I gave to debconf.
p.ex.: DEBCONF_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
DEBCONF_DB_FALLBACK=''File{/tmp/config.dat}'' apt-get install -y
exim4
exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
In /tmp/config.dat, I copied the informations found in then /var/
cache/debconf/config.dat of a freshly installed system (you will find
the extract of this file at ther bottom of this mail).
Am I completly wrong to use debconf this way ? are there some
information missing in my debconf database ? (some settings does not
seems to have ca Value: fields.. is that correct ?)
I cannot get rid of this dialog and I don''t understand why...
thank for any help !
best regards
Olivier
