Package: libvpb0
Version: 4.2.46-1
Severity: normal
I am trying to install libvpb0 since it is a dependency of asterisk.
The server I am installing to has a Sangoma A101 ISDN card in it.
It seems that at install time, the package hangs.
It prompts me for the country code, but hangs when generating configuration for
the ISDN card.
Here is the output:
r...@pbx:~# aptitude install libvpb0

============= Card [1] =============
It is stuck at this line.
I've left it for a long time and it won't continue.
A ps listing shows that the installation is running the following command:
/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/VpbConfigurator --country=61
If I press ^C to abort the install and run this script manually, I get the
following:
r...@pbx:~# /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/VpbConfigurator --country=61

As you can see I am prompted with some questions, of which I answered as per
the above.
Once the above is done I can then get the package to configure like so:
r...@pbx:~# dpkg --configure --pending
Setting up libvpb0 (4.2.46-1) ...
Things I have tried (with no luck), to try to get the package to install
without hanging are:
- Assume I can't see the installation questions and blindly answer them.
Either it isn't asking me at all, or my input is not being sent to the
VpbConfigurator program.
- Install and compile the vpb-driver-source package and install the resulting
modules prior to install.
- Change my debconf question priority from low to high prior to install.
- Change debconf to use readline instead of dialog in the hope of seeing
installation questions.
- Configure Sangoma Wanpipe dirvers first so that they are using the ISDN card,
prior to the install.
In the end, I don't think I even want this to use my ISDN card anyway?
The only reason it is being installed is to satisfy dependencies for Asterisk.
I just want to use the Sangoma wanpipe drivers in conjunction with Asterisk
DAHDI.
So I'd be happy if libvpb0 didn't even try to generate configuration for the
ISDN card.
