To my knowledge, "ucf" attempts to behave as dpkg in situation like this and dpkg would have called that version the "maintainer" version as well (because it is generally produced automatically in "maintainer scripts"). > 3. ucf(1) fails to open a shell when there is no $DISPLAY (when run > under debconf with --debconf-ok) > To my understanding, debconf will generally run in a separate process (as a server) and do the user querying. "ucf" will request debconf to do the querying on its behalf (this is required by the Debian policy). So problem is a part of the debconf design. This problem might be mitigated by choosing a different debconf frontend (e.g. the GNOME/KDE one) which requires X11. > [...] > > Proposal > ======== > > [...] > > Report ucf bugs for issues 2 and/or 3?
