Subject: After installer has run many debconf questions are not seeded
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 11:20:53 +0000
Package: debian-installer
Version: As of 20040412
Severity: normal

During the installer run many packages (for example, setserial) appear
to get installed without their debconf configuration scripts being run.
This means that when the packages get upgraded they prompt for
configuration.

While this is probably mostly OK for a stable release since upgrades are
infrequent I can see this creating problems with security updates and
point releases as well which is probably undesirable.

Incorrect, they are installed in the normal way but with the
noninteractive debconf frontend. The config scripts run. Any package
that behaves as you describe when installed this way is broken; this is
doubly true for packages in the base system which have all been
installed in this way since before the release of woody.

Please clone and/or reassign this bug to the broken packages.

It seems to be happening an awful lot - I'd suggest including some kind
of automated reinstall of all the packages in the testing of the
installer (next time I do an install I'll probably give this a whirl).

setserial is one of the packages I remember doing this to me on upgrade
- it prompted me for autosave-types.

I can't imagine how it could happen at all without some great care being
taken to make debconf behave in a way it truely does not want to, or a
debconf behavior I am not anticipating. Can you provide an example of a
debconf database before the upgrade, plus the upgrade with
DEBCONF_DEBUG='.*' ?

I'll try to find another machine to do an install on but I don't know
when that'll be.

I've found some more instances of this problem.  I managed to catch a
diff of the config files before and after the upgrade, though I didn't
remember to rerun the upgrade or cache the entire database:

Now I understand. This is because debootstrap installs packages using
the noninteractive frontend which does not set questions to seen as the
user has indeed not seen them. It's true that this could lead to some
questions that have already set and presumably working values being asked
on upgrade. 

I don't know of a good way to avoid this at this time; debconf's
handling of the seen flag for the noninteractive frontend is basically
correct; debootstrap's use of the noninteractive frontend is correct,
and there's no way d-i can go back after the fact and mark questions as
seen.

Perhaps it would help if when changing an option that would change what
you see Debconf should offer to rerun config scripts so that being
prompted for unseen options happens then (when you know why) rather than
randomly later?  It's pretty gross but it's fairly non-invasive and I
guess some people might find it useful.

This patch implements a DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN environment variable
that debootstrap can set to make the noninteractive frontend behave a
little differently, without risking breaking other uses of the
noninteractive frontend. What do you think?

This looks reasonable, I think you could have avoided the duplication of
near-identical new classes.

I guess you've tested it and verified it has no other effects to a
debcootrstrapped system?

That's possible ... suggestions for naming of the common class? I'd been
thinking the new classes were small enough not to matter too much.

Maybe some magic could go into Debconf::Element::Noninteractive.

/var/cache/debconf/config.dat diff attached (for Ubuntu rather than
Debian, but hey); /etc is identical except for a popularity-contest
configuration file that has the output of uuidgen in it.

Yes, it seems to me most noninteractive elemenets could just derive from
that class though making it work may be too much work/code.

I guess the couple of Value sets are harmless, since it's just taking
the default value from the templates.

OK, let's try this, moving the common show() code into
Debconf::Element::Noninteractive:

  http://patches.ubuntulinux.org/patches/debconf.238301.v2.diff

Tested with debootstrap, same changes. I'll probably put this version
into Ubuntu for now at least.

Right, I think so too.

Feel free to merge that into debconf svn. As to whether it should go to
the sarge branch.. well, I suppose you could ask Steve. :-)
