I'm afraid I fail to see the problem here. I am perfectly able to change /etc/default/dhcp3-server with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server'. The .config script looks sane as well, it reads the current setting from /etc/default/dhcp3-server, then asks the user about changing it, then writes it back in the postinst.
Maybe the misunderstanding here is that the reporter expects debconf settings to dominate configuration files. This is wrong, configuration files are holy and they must never be changed noninteractively by package scripts. Can you please confirm that I understood this report correctly? If not, please elaborate about the problem. -- dhcp3-server misuses debconf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
