Thanks! I just found a workaround at the same time you commented, which is
to change this line in `/opt/couchdb/etc/vm.args`:
```
# -setcookie
```
to
```
-setcookie somestring
```
I wasn't able to get `debconf-set-selections` to work either; it looked like
the DEBIAN/config script in the package was always overwriting any preseeded
values as long as that blank commented line existed in that file:
```bash
if [ -e /opt/couchdb/etc/vm.args ] ; then
cookie="$(grep '^-setcookie' /opt/couchdb/etc/vm.args | cut -d ' ' -f 2 |
stripwhitespace)"
nodename="$(grep '^-name' /opt/couchdb/etc/vm.args | cut -d ' ' -f 2 |
stripwhitespace)"
db_set couchdb/cookie "${cookie}" # <-- ${cookie} is blank here
if [ "${nodename}" != "[email protected]" ]; then
db_set couchdb/nodename "${nodename}"
fi
fi
```
