Package: debconf Version: 1.5.26 Severity: wishlist Dpkg-preconfigure refuses to work at all, when 'apt-extracttemplates' is available, i.e. apt-utils package is not installed.
The obvious command is to use 'dpkg-deb -I <deb> config && dpkg-deb -I <deb> templates' command to obtain needed files for the package. Please let me know if no one interested in working on this issue, then I will try to write a patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debconf depends on: ii debconf-i18n 1.5.26 full internationalization support ii perl-base 5.10.0-19 minimal Perl system Versions of packages debconf recommends: ii apt-utils 0.7.21 APT utility programs Versions of packages debconf suggests: pn debconf-doc <none> (no description available) pn debconf-utils <none> (no description available) ii dialog 1.1-20080819-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe pn libgnome2-perl <none> (no description available) pn libnet-ldap-perl <none> (no description available) pn libqt-perl <none> (no description available) pn libterm-readline-gnu-perl <none> (no description available) ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- debconf information: debconf-apt-progress/preparing: debconf-apt-progress/title: debconf-apt-progress/info: debconf-apt-progress/media-change: debconf/frontend: Dialog debconf/priority: high -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
