Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.39
Followup-For: Bug #761215
Actually, it does _not_ prompt ... unless debconf is _not_ installed and
prompting is not possible -- i.e., I think this is a bug. From
base-passwd.postinst:
====
tmp=`tempfile`
if ! update-passwd --dry-run > $tmp ; then
if [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ] ; then
db_version 2.0
update-passwd --verbose
changes=1
else
# debconf prompting
====
I believe that probably should be "if [ ! -f .../deconf/..."
