While debconf is working for me just fine when setting string values, when
I try to use vtype: multiselect, my list is converted into a string and
only the last item gets selected. The relevant section of the yaml file:
- name: ldap nsswitch
debconf:
name: libnss-ldapd
question: libnss-ldapd/nsswitch
value: passwd, group, shadow
vtype: multiselect
but these settings were not applied.
I then changed the value to
value:
- passwd
- group
- shadow
and get the warning
[WARNING]: The value "['passwd', 'group', 'shadow']" (type list) was
converted to ""['passwd', 'group', 'shadow']"" (type string). If this does
not look like what you expect, quote the entire value to ensure it does not
change.
I then tried "value: "passwd, group, shadow" (and maybe "[passwd, group,
shadow]" but I don't remember for sure). No change in behavior.
When I log into the machine I ran the ansible script on, with any of those
versions on the ansible file, I see
$ debconf-show libnss-ldapd
libnss-ldapd/clean_nsswitch: false
* libnss-ldapd/nsswitch: sudoers
What I expect to see:
$ debconf-show libnss-ldapd
* libnss-ldapd/nsswitch: passwd, group, shadow
libnss-ldapd/clean_nsswitch: false
ansible version is 2.10.8
Is this user error or a bug in debconf?
