I worry that doing this violates the principle that debconf is not a registry. Debconf is a way for the administrator to make her preferences known and that is all. To change the answer to a debconf question to record the fact that a maintainer script has run is to use debconf as a record of system state. In Debian there are already a couple of ways of preventing the resolvconf package from replacing /etc/resolv.conf with a symlink on upgrade. * Remove the resolvconf package * Manually change the answer to the linkify-resolvconf question, using dpkg-reconfigure * Make the file immutable (The last case is currently treated as an error if the answer to linkify-resolvconf is true, but we could decide to treat it as a valid condition instead.) -- Thomas Hood -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922677 Title: resolvconf should only convert /etc/resolv.conf to a symlink at initial installation time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/922677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
