Nope it's not fully solved yet. Executing "dpkg-reconfigure portmap" in interactive mode and answering "Should portmap be bound to the loopback address?" with "yes" results in OPTIONS="-i 127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/portmap as expected. But executing: echo "portmap portmap/loopback boolean false" | debconf-set-selections dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap then results again in OPTIONS="-i 127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/portmap. Demonstration: ,---- [ broken reconfigure ] | # echo "portmap portmap/loopback boolean true" | debconf-set-selections | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopback boolean true | # dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap | Stopping portmap daemon.... | Starting portmap daemon.... | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopback boolean false `---- And the other way arround: ,---- [ broken reconfigure ] | # echo "portmap portmap/loopback boolean false" | debconf-set-selections | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopback boolean false | # dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap | Stopping portmap daemon.... | Starting portmap daemon.... | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopback boolean true `---- So the portmap/loopback value is just being toggled, no matter what's configured in debconf database. The problem is located in /var/lib/dpkg/info/portmap.config: ,---- [ debugging mode ] | # export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer | # dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap | Stopping portmap daemon.... | debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/portmap.config reconfigure 6.0.0-2 | debconf (developer): <-- SET portmap/loopback true | debconf (developer): --> 0 value set | debconf (developer): <-- INPUT medium portmap/loopback | debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped | debconf (developer): <-- GO | debconf (developer): --> 0 ok | debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/portmap.postinst configure 6.0.0-2 | debconf (developer): <-- GET portmap/loopback | debconf (developer): --> 0 true | debconf (developer): <-- STOP | Starting portmap daemon.... `---- So the config script uses the value from /etc/default/portmap and then just overrides the value in debconf database instead of querying debconf before. regards, -mika-
