Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.28ubuntu4
In my package using debconf, i've let the user have the ability to go back.
This works great when using the gnome debconf frontend, but when
reconfiguring from the command line (using the one with the blue background
and text only) I am unable to go back when using the 'note' data type (the
button to go back does not exist, only OK). Other data types such as select
go back fine when you hit cancel.
Actual Experience:
Debconf screens with data type note have a OK button. This makes it
impossible for the user to go back to previous questions.
Expected Experience:
Debconf screens with data type note have a back/cancel button allowing the
user to go back to previous questions.
Is this a limitation of the command line debconf frontend? Is there another
data type that I can use to display a warning to the user that allows them
to go back?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04

Whiptail does not support displaying a cancel button for a --notebox.
Debconf supports backing up via pressing the escape key.
