It just failed for me on hardy while updating samba, resulting in smbd
not being running this morning:
Subject: Cron apt-get -qq update && apt-get -qq upgrade &&
apt-get clean
(Reading database ... 79236 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace smbclient 3.0.22-1ubunt
here ist the output from the email (had two more since from hourly run
cron job, so by far not the same every run):
/etc/cron.hourly/apt-security-updates:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to front
This morning cron mailed me again about this debconf error about not
beeing able to set frontend, TERM not set, etc.
Unfortunatelly I've deleted the mail already. The orcward thing is
aptitude runs fine acording to my logs and installes packages from
hardy-security just fine. Last time was Jul 10
This was never a bug in samba, but in update-inetd; and the current
version of the update-inetd package is debconf-aware, so doesn't happen
with the current version. Marking as fixed.
** Changed in: update-inetd (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: samba => update-inetd
Status: Confirmed => Fix Rel
you're right Sam Morris, thing is update-inetd does not check the
variable "DEBCONF_FRONTEND", but checks "DEBIAN_FRONTEND" if it is set
to noninteractive ... so this is no bug of samba directly (i encountered
this one when installing postfix via onetime bootscript), but it is a
problem w. debian/u
One for the server team.

You received this bug notification because you are
Check update-inetd line 29. I think that if it fails to open /dev/tty
then it should fall back to /dev/null (which is used in the first place
if DEBCONF_FRONTEND=noninteractive).

Isn't the error the failure of update-inetd?
Anyway, the command in /etc/crontab is: apt-get -qq --yes dist-upgrade

The issue is the line that says "Starting Samba ..." that needed to be
output to the terminal. Shall we mark this bug as a wishlist item that
says the that the output should/could be suppressed when run non-
interactively?
What was the command you were running from Cron, in any case?
Thank you.
