Just for the archive: It isn't, or rather Joey has misunderstood me - he probably knows every piece of code by heart. Thanks to his help in an other thread, I have now setup a debconf testing environment (that would have saved me asking in the first place). Here's the outcome: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat bin/testing/debconftest #!/bin/sh . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule db_fset test/blubb seen false db_input medium test/blubb db_go db_fget test/blubb seen echo "Seen (after seeing in fact): $RET" db_fset test/blubb seen true db_fget test/blubb seen echo "Seen (after setting): $RET" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bin/testing/debconftest Configuring ------------ 1. foo 2. bar 3. baz :-) blubb [1] 2 Seen (after seeing in fact): false Seen (after setting): true [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i.e after manipulating the seen flag to false, it is _not_ changed by debconf when it in fact shows the questions - the script has to manually revert its manipulation.
