Hi guys,
Colin's fix of #575070 [0] breaks update-inetd's tests (#577299) due to
debconf not running anymore as non-root:
$ LC_ALL=C ./update-inetd --file /tmp/tmpP6yZ5F.modified --verbose --remove
'time2'
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
Sebastian mentioned DEBCONF_DEB_REPLACE in the above bug report but I didn't
find a single reference of it in debconf's sources and docs. How's one
supposed to run debconf as non-root? I didn't need to do anything special
up to now.
Please keep the CC in responses.
Cheers,
Serafeim
