Package: tzdata Version: 2012j-1 The configuration script of the tzdata package, wich uses debconf, prevents non-interactive (re)configuration of the package.
To reproduce: - feed debconf with new values for tzdata keys (ex. debconf-set-selections) - run 'dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive tzdata' - configuration is unchanged I propose the following change which makes non-interactive reconfiguration possible: --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.config.orig 2013-03-27 18:58:53.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.config 2013-03-27 18:35:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -370,8 +370,10 @@ # Initializes debconf default values from the ones found in # configuration files -db_set tzdata/Areas "$AREA" -db_set tzdata/Zones/$AREA "$ZONE" +if [ -z "$DEBCONF_RECONFIGURE" ]; then + db_set tzdata/Areas "$AREA" + db_set tzdata/Zones/$AREA "$ZONE" +fi STATE=1 while [ "$STATE" -ge 0 ]; do Note: the comment could make us believe that keys are initialized with the current values of the debconf database, but it is not the case.
