apt-get debconf
Hi, just a question, I couldn't find an answer, yet. If I use apt-get install package_name , is this package automatically configured by debconf. If not how can I do that? I know there is the command dpkg-reconfigure but I don't want to do a reconfiguration and it should be done automatically without invoking configuration for each installed package.

Unstable - apt-get, debconf, dpkg Stuck?
Im running unstable with a self built 2.4.16 SMP kernel. A couple of weeks ago now, I ran apt-get install upgrade, which completed sucessfully, but didn't install all packages. I then ran apt-get upgrade again to get them, as per my normal practice (is this not recommended?). Some packages were downloaded, it's been so long now I can't remember which, but the process, whether it's apt-get, dpkg, or debconf, hangs for an indefinite period right after download, and I can't seem to work around it. Apt-get -f install simply hangs again. Apt-get clean and then trying again doesn't help, so it's probably not the result of packages corrupted by the download. I've tried configuring all unconfigured packages first, but some don't configure, and now debconf isn't configured either (if it was before I tried to fix things) I've tried removing packages and those dependent on them to fix by reinstalling them. Although I knew that there was little chance of success, I even tried dropping back down to testing. All with no luck. As it stands now, my system wants to install the following uninstalled packages: gconf kdebase xlibmesa 3 Dpkg -C indicates the following packages are currently unconfigured: adduser libkonq3 libgconf11 libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 gs-common kdebase-libs libgdk-pixbuf2 and the following packages are half configured: xterm kdm debconf gdm I don't know how much of this is due to my own mucking around. My guess is that the problem lies with debconf not being configured. I tried forcibly removing it and reinstalling it to no avail. Whether my efforts have done more harm then good, it appears I'm stuck with a system that won't update, and request help from the community on how to proceed. __ Do You Yahoo!?

apt-get/debconf brokenness
The last couple times I've tried to do an apt-get dist-upgrade, dpkg-preconfig failed. A quick search of package contents on http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (that is very convienient, I appreicate it a lot) shows that the program dpkg-preconfig is part of the package debconf. I go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ where apt-get -d dist-upgrade just downloaded all the new .DEBs to, find a newer version of debconf there, and do dpkg -i debconf_0.2.44_all.deb Then my apt-get dist upgrade works. This process is broken. the current version of debconf needs to be automatically installed *first* whenever an apt-get dist-upgrade is done. btw, all of this stuff absolutely rocks when it works. And I'd still like to see the .deb .rpm file formats merged to avoid a bit of duplication of efforts.
