dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<PRE>
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
</PRE>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>dpkg-reconfigure</B> reconfigures packages after they have already been
installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure. It
will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first
installed.
<P>
If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+debconf-show">debconf-show</A></B>(1) instead.

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-f</B><I>type</I>, <B>--frontend=</B><I>type</I><DD>
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed
by:
<P>
<PRE>
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
</PRE>
<P>
Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive
frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead, so you
actually get to reconfigure the package.
<DT id="2"><B>-p</B><I>value</I>, <B>--priority=</B><I>value</I><DD>
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what your
default priority is. See <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+debconf">debconf</A></B>(7) for a list.
<DT id="3"><B>--default-priority</B><DD>
Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the
priority to low.
<DT id="4"><B>-u</B>, <B>--unseen-only</B><DD>
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been
answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have not yet
been seen will be asked.
<DT id="5"><B>--force</B><DD>
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an
inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
<DT id="6"><B>--no-reload</B><DD>
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this
will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates databases.
However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the
templates database is expensive.
<DT id="7"><B>-h</B>, <B>--help</B><DD>
Display usage help.
