it is also possible to change the default without marking it as seen... > So is there any real reason you need the former, or would just using > grep be enough for the latter? how can you grep debconf-get-selections output for questions that are marked seen? the only fields i see are: owner question type value my goal is to have the smallest possible set of changes in a debconf pre-seed to replicate the configuration, in case defaults of other packages change. maybe other tools would be more appropriate. suggestions would be appreciated. thanks for debconf! live well, vagrant
