Title:
could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Due to strange terminal output after latest debconf (1.5.66) upgrade (
lp:1752394 ) i have installed debconf-utils to run 'debconf-get-
selections' and 'debconf-set-selections', but:
oem@ubuntu:~$ debconf-set-selections
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
oem@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 1 18:35 /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat
So the configuration is badly set. This also have been reported some times
ago (precise) lp:959364
but nobody care on the canonical side.
Needs to run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf' to set the minimal required.
