And to share some code:
# Get debconf to be as unobtrusive as possible
# man 5 debconf.conf, in package debconf-doc
editfiles:
{ /etc/debconf.conf
DeleteLinesStarting "Frontend:"
DeleteLinesStarting "Admin-Email:"
ResetSearch "1"
LocateLineMatching "^Templates:.*"
InsertLine "Frontend: noninteractive"
InsertLine "Admin-Email:"
}
editfiles:
{ /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30dpkg_force_confold
AutoCreate
EmptyEntireFilePlease
AppendIfNoSuchLine 'DPkg::Options {"--force-confold";};'
}
I use a Perl script to do the actual package installations based on
lists of packages for various host groups, and the actual apt-get call
looks something like:
yes y | apt-get -qq -y install $packages >/dev/null 2>&1
This works pretty well for me, though it is not that elegant.
Best,
Brendan
