I was able to recreate and research this a bit during an upgrade from Q to R. I received the debconf prompt regarding rsync, cups, cron and atd. The preinst script for libc checks to see whether or not $RELEASE_UPGRADE_MODE = desktop. This evironmental variable is set by ubuntu-release-upgrader in DistUpgradeController. Additionally, the result of this check is logged in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log as "run in 'desktop' mode" or "running in server mode".
Inspecting the running process at the time of the distribution upgrade I found RELEASE_UPGRADE_MODE set to desktop for a dpkg process, a perl / debconf process, and a dpkg preinst. Its not quite clear where the problem lies but it doesn't look like it is an issue with ubuntu- release-upgrader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1105137 Title: Debconf prompt on upgrade from quantal to raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1105137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
