The debconf dialog works for me. It displays the text
Eagle must be run once as root to install the license key file.
Run eagle now to install the license key file?
Have you installed eagle before, or perhaps your debconf priority
threshold is set too low? Try purging eagle and reinsalling it.
apt-get remove --purge eagle && apt-get install eagle
When eagle is installed using sudo from a user session running X --
sudo apt-get install eagle -- eagle runs as root and the license key
is generated correctly.
Cheers,
Shaun
