Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04
debconf version 1.5.51ubuntu2 and 1.5.58ubuntu1
I have a central LDAP based debconf configdb with default answers set
up. If there is an answer for a not installed package, debconf-get-
selections stops with error.
Expected behavior: ignore configdb entry if no templatedb entry present.
Bug can be worked around with a simple if statement. in
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 93.
Return value if no templatedb defined missing, what should be returned?
Original:
sub description {
my $this=shift;
return $this->_expand_vars($this->template->description);
}
Workaraound:
sub description {
my $this=shift;
if ( defined $this->template ) {
return $this->_expand_vars($this->template->description);
}
}
