This bug makes unattended installs extremely difficult. I have a remote postgresql server, and I cannot find a workable combination of debconf settings that allows the sympa package (which uses dbconfig-common) to install without error.
Without the ability to preseed the dbc answers, sympa fails to install. Even preseeding dbconfig-common this way: * dbconfig-common/dbconfig-install: false * dbconfig-common/dbconfig-remove: false * dbconfig-common/dbconfig-upgrade: false * dbconfig-common/missing-db-package-error: ignore Does not stop this package from attempting to contact the database server, and create a database admin user: Setting up sympa (6.1.4~dfsg-1~bpo60+1) ... dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/sympa.conf warning: database package not installed? chown: invalid user: `postgres' unable to connect to postgresql server. error encountered creating user: Unknown id: postgres dbconfig-common: sympa configure: aborted. dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
