Some of them but very few seem to, at least the type of packages that
one would install on a server. The -q -q doesn't do anything to stop
package post installs that ask questions. Whats needed is a
combination of :-
- make sure debconf.conf has noninteractive
- on initial install I have had to set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
before calling apt-get install (for libc6 ?)
- setup apt.conf with :
// Make sure dpkg doesn't overwrite our changes
// and, just as importantly for cfengine, doesn't
// ask any questions either
DPkg::Options {"--force-confold";};
I think thats it. For bind I had to make sure it looked like samba was
configured before installing the package by setting up the
debian_config file; I must admit it tooks some time but Debian is
becoming more question free even as I write :-)
Sincerely,
Adrian Phillips
