--- Begin Message ---Package: samba-common Version: 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5 I maintain a software package (freelcs.sourceforge.net) that runs on Debian. My software needs samba and installs this among other packages it needs with apt-get. The user runs my GUI installer which uses apt-get in the background to install needed Debian packages unattended. This has worked fine before in Debian releases 7, 8 and 9, but now in Debian 10 the installer fails because the samba-common package won't respect the -q=2 -y swithces on apt-get commandline. The exact commandline I use is: apt-get -q=2 --reinstall -y install samba another commandline I tried is: sudo apt-get --reinstall -y --no-install-recommends install samba The expected behavior is that samba package is installed without prompting the user for anything. However both of these commands now always open up a prompt asking: "If your computer gets IP address information from a DHCP server on the network, the DHCP server may also provide information about WINS servers ("NetBIOS name servers") present on the network. This requires a change to your smb.conf file so that DHCP-provided WINS settings will automatically be read from /var/lib/samba/dhcp.conf. The dhcp-client package must be installed to take advantage of this feature. Modify smb.conf to use WINS settings from DHCP?" IMHO this seems like a bug in the samba package, since the behavior has changed from earlier samba - versions and the apt-get switches -q=2 -y and --no-install-recommends should provide default answers for the packages questions and the installation should proceed without any prompts.
