Package: debconf Version: 1.4.52 Severity: normal Currently if TERM variable have value that whiptail does not understand installation of packages fails (real example is installation of libpango1.0-common package via ssh using mlterm terminal emulator (TERM=mlterm) when only one host have mlterm installed):
# TERM=dfdfsdsd dpkg-reconfigure libpango1.0-common Cleaning up font configuration of pango... Cleaning up category xfont.. Unknown terminal: dfdfsdsd Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. debconf: whiptail output to the above errors, giving up! It will be better to use teletype frontend in such situations. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.1 Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages debconf depends on: ii debconf-i18n 1.4.52 full internationalization support ii perl-base 5.8.7-4 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis Versions of packages debconf recommends: ii apt-utils 0.6.38 APT utility programs -- debconf information: * debconf/priority: medium * debconf/frontend: Dialog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
