Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve
Ubuntu.
The -f argument to dpkg-reconfigure is ineffectual for libpam-runtime
because -f only sets the debconf frontend used when calling the .config
script for a package, and libpam-runtime doesn't use a .config script:
it calls (and must call) pam-auth-update from the postinst.
To set the frontend used by pam-auth-update, you can run either of these
commands:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=editor dpkg-reconfigure libpam-runtime
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=editor pam-auth-update
Marking this report as invalid because the pam scripts are functioning
as designed; if you believe dpkg-reconfigure's behavior is incorrect and
that -f should be applied when invoking any of the maintainer scripts,
this bug report should be reassigned to debconf.
** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
