<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>dpkg-preconfigure</B> lets packages ask questions before they are installed.
|
|
It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that use debconf
|
|
will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask
|
|
questions.

Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions

with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored and their

default answers will be used.

Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from
|
|
stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this is used to
|
|
make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed.
|
|
To do this, add something like this to /etc/apt/apt.conf:
