Title:
Missing option -a on dpkg-reconfigure
Status in cdebconf package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm using debconf 1.5.55ubuntu2 and I'm noticing that the option -a to
reconfigure all installed packages does not exist anymore. Is there a
special reason that it got removed? Maybe it can be implemented again.
