Package: netbase
Version: 4.18
Severity: normal
/usr/sbin/update-inetd does check the noninteractivity by reading
DEBIAN_FRONTEND. However, this environment variable should only be
set by the user, it is not set by debconf. Debconf has the
debconf/frontend value in debconf for this.
This means that I need to set DEBIAN_FRONTEND in a script that installs
netbase to "noninteractive", even if I've already set debconf to use
the frontend "noninteractive".
A solution would be to use debconf to figure out what sort of frontend
is in use...
A side effect of this bug is that if my script does not set
DEBIAN_FRONTEND, update-inetd dies because of the failure of opening
/dev/tty. At least this behavior should be changed to be a warning
only!
