Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sendmail-bin
configure () {
local enter;
echo -n "Configure now ? (y/N) ";
read yn;
...
According to policy this is depracated behavior. From
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintscriptprompt
"Package maintainer scripts may prompt the user if necessary. Prompting should
be done by communicating through a program, such as debconf, which conforms to
the Debian Configuration management specification, version 2 or higher.
Prompting the user by other means, such as by hand[8], is now deprecated."
This complicates unattended installations.
** Affects: sendmail (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
