Package: debconf Version: 1.4.30.13 I have some additionnal info about this bug. In fact, I'm not sure this bug doesn't come from the Apache package itself ; but I definitely think it's related, as the symptoms are almost identical, despite of the fact I don't use the KDE frontend.
In order to easily install new servers with a working configuration out-of-the-box, I made a package which contains a little config.dat containing some Debconf answers. Once the package is installed, I run a script which merges the contents of this file with /var/cache/debconf/config.dat (with debconf-copydb), and then installs the needed packages. One of these packages is apache ; and one of these questions is apache's modules list. It's merged in the global config.dat just like all the others, but during apache's installation, it's not read by Debconf. Two consequences : - Debconf keeps asking me this question, despite of the "seen" flag I set - Debconf doesn't look at the values I set, and presents me a list of modules with the default choices enabled I tried a lot of things (with/without "seen" flag, with/without "variables" and "flavour" fields, etc etc), nothing helps. A weird thing is that the "server port" question used to present the same symptoms, but not anymore. Of course, I didn't change anything regarding this question, and that's why I'm puzzled. Maybe it can help to know that apache is not pre-configured : the questions appear only when dpkg configures the package, and not before the unpack phase as expected. No need to say that my package/script works as expected with all the other Debconf questions, I have this problem only with apache and this particular configuration question. Debian version : 3.1 Kernel : 2.6.8-2-686 libc6 : 2.3.2.ds1-22, libc6-i686 : 2.3.2.ds1-22 Apache : 1.3.33-6 Feel free to ask for any additionnal info.
