DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8) NAME dpkg−reconfigure − reconfigure an already installed package SYNOPSIS dpkg−reconfigure [options] packages DESCRIPTION dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they hav e already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure. It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed. If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf−show (1) instead. OPTIONS −ftype, −−frontend=type Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by: dpkg−reconfigure debconf Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead, so you actually get to reconfigure the package. −pvalue, −−priority=value Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed. dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what your default priority is. See debconf (7) for a list. −−default−priority Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low. −a, −−all Reconfigure all installed packages that use debconf. Warning: this may take a long time. −u, −−unseen−only By default, all questions are shown, even if they hav e already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have not yet been seen will be asked. −−force Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution. −−no−reload Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg- reconfigure from repairing broken templates databases. However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive. −h, −−help Display usage help.
