Package: ucf Version: 3.0036 Severity: normal Hi,
I am trying to debug and test ucf and wanted to move away from the dialog frontend: [94/5351]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline [95/5352]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ echo "package file" > packagefile [96/5353]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ sudo ucf $(pwd)/packagefile $(pwd)/localfile Creating config file /home/mh/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test/localfile with new version [97/5354]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ sudo ucfr mytest $(pwd)/localfile [98/5355]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ echo "changed package file" > packagefile [99/5356]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ echo "changed local file" > localfile [100/5357]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ sudo ucfr mytest $(pwd)/localfile [101/5358]mh@swivel:~/tmp/nosnap/ucf/test $ sudo ucf $(pwd)/packagefile $(pwd)/localfile This displayed a dialog ucf dialog, while I would have expected a readline ucf dialog, as ucf uses debconf. Same thing happened with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text.
