Could you confirm you ran the debconf module before you installed/upgraded wireshark, as the postinst won't run just because the debconf database gets updated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919379 Title: debconf module: does not execute postinst To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ansible/+bug/1919379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
