Package: fprobe Version: 1.1-7.3+b1 This is a packaging issue.
When trying to install with: apt-get install --assume-yes fprobe apt-get still prompt the user for trivial configuration options (address and port of the recipient). (note that if you had fprobe installed earlier you have to purge it first in order to witness the behavior described above) In non-interactive mode the package should just install the default setting (if you ask me, the default is sane enough that the user should not be prompted even in interactive mode - how painfully slow installing anything would be if it was the norm that every service should prompt for ports every number).
