Hello, Here's a patch that fix the "Unknown template field" errors that debconf encounters.
However, dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm still doesn't work as it just spits out the following output : # dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm * ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please run dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm * ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please edit /etc/default/ipvsadm I'm not sure how to fix it myself. Best regards, Joris ** Patch added: "This patch resolves the "Unknown template field" errors." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipvsadm/+bug/1077874/+attachment/3431223/+files/ipvsadm.templates.patch ** Description changed: - root@cookie:~# apt-get install ipvsadm + # apt-get install ipvsadm Reading package lists...
