--- Begin Message ---Package: steam Version: 1.0.0.49-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi maintainer, I'm trying to automate the installation of the steam package by preseeding the debconf selections needed to accept the license agreement. The installation fails every time I try: root@eruption:~# cat selections steam steam/question select I AGREE steam steam/license note root@eruption:~# debconf-set-selections < selections root@eruption:~# apt-get install steam Reading package lists...

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/steam_1.0.0.49-1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm not prompted to accept the license agreement; the install just fails immediately. Bug #757524 had a similar issue, but I believe the resolution ("You have two spaces between select and I") was incorrect, as using a single space doesn't fix the problem. Additionally, I generated the selections from debconf-get-selections, so the formatting should be correct. My understanding of debconf might be flawed, but I believe this is because the db_input prompts will fail if the selection has already been preseeded (or if the user can't be prompted). The ``Debconf Programmer's Tutorial'' [1] uses `|| true` after each invocation of db_input. I've attached a patch that updates the steam package source to do this. With the patch applied, I am able to install steam both normally (no preseeds) and with the preseeded selections. Many thanks!

Rather than fail the install script (since we set -e), we should proceed normally and allow the "I AGREE" check to fail (in case the user really couldn't be prompted). Without this change, preseeding debconf selections results in the install failing immediately every time. --- debian/postrm | 2 +- debian/preinst | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/postrm b/debian/postrm index 9b38aec..2440320 100644 --- a/debian/postrm +++ b/debian/postrm @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ if [ "$1" = "abort-install" ]; then fi if [ "$1" = "purge" ]; then - db_input high steam/purge + db_input high steam/purge || true db_go fi diff --git a/debian/preinst b/debian/preinst index e8479e6..36a330a 100644 --- a/debian/preinst +++ b/debian/preinst @@ -4,8 +4,8 @@ set -e . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then - db_input high steam/license - db_input high steam/question + db_input high steam/license || true + db_input high steam/question || true db_go db_get steam/question test "$RET" = "I AGREE" -- 2.1.3
