I have the feeling that one important variable setting may have gotten dropped at your end because if I look at my GH repo here: https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/tree/master/r-apt you will see essentially identical Dockerfile setups that worked for precise trusty wily xenial yakkety zesty artful and then all of a sudden failed for bionic I will add the setting, but methinks you guys set it before. Or maybe one of the Debian packages involved did. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773687 Title: [bionic] no unattended installation Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Package: tzdata Version: 2018d-1 Ubuntu release: 18.04 There appears to be a regression with the preseeding data for tzdata in the 18.04 release. When running apt-get install tzdata I now _always_ drop into an interactive selection of the timezone 'area' and 'zone'. This was not the case before; it is also not the case in Debian 'unstable' right now. I looked into the postinst script, but I can't figure out where the preseeded info would be. I tried debconf-set-selections with a preseed file, but no luck. This blocks usage of tzdata in Docker containers and is there for a bit annoying.
