you're right Sam Morris, thing is update-inetd does not check the variable "DEBCONF_FRONTEND", but checks "DEBIAN_FRONTEND" if it is set to noninteractive ... so this is no bug of samba directly (i encountered this one when installing postfix via onetime bootscript), but it is a problem w. debian/ubuntu variables i guess. at least setting "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive" did the trick for me ;)
this is an issue in many packages ... (eg. ssl-cert) some rely on being called from an interactive console to be installed, even if no (debconf-)questions need to be asked at all -- Fails to upgrade non-interactively https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
