Package: debconf Version: 1.5.14 Severity: normal When upgrading libssl0.9.8 from the terminal I get a window with a proposed list of serveices to be restarted.
If I do the same from an Emacs buffer, the list is empty, and pressing RET does not restart any services. I tried to debug it, but I only arrived to state that apparently the SET command does not work in an Emacs buffer, as the debconf database contains an empty value for that entry. Here is what I see (I press RET at the prompt): tucano:/tmp# DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf /tmp/libssl0.9.8.postinst configure me debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling \ terminal.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline debconf (developer): starting /tmp/libssl0.9.8.postinst configure me Checking for services that may need to be restarted...done.

Services will not use these fixes until they are restarted. Please note that restarting the SSH server (sshd) should not affect any existing connections. Please check the list of detected services that need to be restarted and correct it, if needed. The services names must be identical to the initialization script names in /etc/init.d and separated by spaces. No services will be restarted if the list is empty. Any service that later fails unexpectedly after this upgrade should be restarted. It is recommended to reboot this host to avoid any SSL-related trouble.
