** Description changed: + [Impact] + + non-interactive installations of 389-ds-base fail + + [Test Case] + + try to install the package noninteractively + + [Regression Potential] + + none, the bug is caused by old packaging leftovers that should be + removed + + -- + I'm using the Quantal version of this package, back-ported (myself) to a Precise system, however the same bug is present on Precise. I'm attempting to install this package using Puppet, which uses the equivalent of the following command to do so: - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none + DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options ::=--force-confold install 389-ds-base This results in the following error: dpkg: error processing 389-ds-base (--configure): - subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30 + subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30 Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place Errors were encountered while processing: - 389-ds-base + 389-ds-base E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) When run under DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, I get debconf (developer): frontend started debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is 389-ds-base - debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/389-ds-base.config configure + debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/389-ds-base.config configure debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high 389-ds-base/setup debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped dpkg: error processing 389-ds-base (--configure): - subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30 + subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30 Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place Errors were encountered while processing: - 389-ds-base + 389-ds-base E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) As far as I can tell, the problem exists because the debconf key is specified as high priority, even though all it does is display a note, making this a packaging issue.
