Bug#317358: portmap bind to loopback install option doesn't work
* Petter Reinholdtsen p...@hungry.com [Don Feb 25, 2010 at 07:01:43 +0100]: I suspect this issue was solved when portmap version 6.0.0-2, but am unsure if it is true. Please test and see if the issue is solved. 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/loopbackboolean true | # dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap | Stopping portmap daemon | Starting portmap daemon | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopbackboolean 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/loopbackboolean false | # dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive portmap | Stopping portmap daemon | Starting portmap daemon | # debconf-get-selections | grep 'portmap.*boolean' | portmap portmap/loopbackboolean 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- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

What you are doing at the end here is not supposed to work. Preseeding only work before the package is installed, as the authorative configuration setting after installation is the content of the configuration on disk, and not the values in the debconf database. If you want to change settings using debconf automatically after installation, you need to stack debconf backends and force debconf to ignore the set command from the config script. The reason for this is that debconf is not a registry, only a mechanism to ask questions.
