Hey
So I've configured my sbuild to "$apt_upgrade = 1;" and
"$apt_distupgrade = 1;", and either of them will break the build
because of dpkg prompting for a conffile update:
Setting up netbase (4.43ubuntu1) ...
Configuration file `/etc/protocols'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** protocols (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing netbase
(--configure):
EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
netbase
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I see DEBIAN_FRONTEND is correctly set to noninteractive for debconf
prompts; I propose that apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade set dpkg opts to
pass --force-confold, see attached patch to ChrootSetup.pm.
Thanks for considering!
(I will also look at the reason for protocols being patched in
Launchpad chroots over the netbase defaults)
