Control: reassign -1 debconf On Wed, Jun 21, 2023 at 07:50:33PM -0700, pe...@easthope.ca wrote: > I used aptitude to update the system.
Was apt-utils part of that upgrade or was it even newly installed? You can get that info after the fact from /var/log/apt/history.log > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? > Aptitude was OK but reported this. > debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed The message is not from aptitude, nor from apt-utils, it is from debconf as the prefix indicates, but no worries, as that is hard to know if you don't know how they all interact. It "just" means that we can't leave the bugreport against apt-utils as it wasn't really involved. I am therefore reassigning to debconf as they might know what might have lead to this message provided you can give some further details about your situation. > * What was the outcome of this action? > Given that apt-utils is installed, puzzlement. > > * What outcome did you expect instead? > With apt-utils installed it should work as intended rather than cause > a report of absence. Note that as the message says the configuration is "delayed" as in happening in-place rather than upfront, so at least this is not dangerous and you don't miss anything, just puzzling.
