Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.22
Severity: normal
Every time a package, such as libpam0g, wants to display a list of
services to be restarted in an Emacs shell buffer, the list is empty.
>From inside an Emacs shell buffer, I use to run
aptitude -r dist-upgrade
and I get this:
=============== start of screen transcript =====================
Setting up libpam0g (1.0.1-4+b1) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell
buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Checking for services that may need to be restarted...Checking init scripts...
Configuring libpam0g
--------------------
Most services that use PAM need to be restarted to use modules built for this
new version of libpam. Please
review the following space-separated list of init.d scripts for services to be
restarted now, and correct it
if needed.
Some other services such as xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, and xlockmore
cannot be restarted for you. You
will not be able to authenticate to these services until you restart them
manually.
Services to restart for PAM library upgrade:
============== end of screen transcript ========================
As you can see, the list of services to restart is empty. Howeer, if I
run in a terminal the command
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam0g.postinst configure 0
I get the following list: wu-ftpd samba netatalk gdm exim4 cups cron atd
It is not simply a visualisation problem: if I hit Enter at the prompt,
no services are restarted. I can reproduce this problem at will.
I am knwledgeable with bash, so if I can be of any help, please let me
know.

Changes:
debconf (1.5.24) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* debconf(7): Clarify reason for libterm-readline-gnu-perl being recommended
for users of readline frontend. Closes: #497357
.
[ Manpages translations ]
* Updated german man page translation. Closes: #492370
* German proofread by Helge Kreutzmann. Copyright fixed to include
Florian Rehnisch
* Corrected French manpages translation wrt "interactive".
Closes: #496555
.
[ Debconf translations ]
* Hindi updated.
* Greek updated. Closes: #498580
.
[ Programs translations ]
* Hindi updated.
* Greek updated. Closes: #498577
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* debconf.7: Remove whitespace in manrefs. Closes: #498446
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Fall back to untranslated fields if asking explicitly for any
nonexistent translated field, not just Choices-C. For example, asking
for Choices-en.UTF-8 should fall back to Choices if Choices-en.UTF-8
doesn't exist. LP: #271652
* Remove some dead code in Debconf::Template::AUTOLOAD.
* Add an AUTHOR section to debconf-escape(1) to make the German po4a
translations work better.
* Add missing =back to debconf-apt-progress(1)'s OPTIONS section.
* Use =head1 in German POD addendum, not =HEAD1. Together with switching
output to UTF-8 (below), this fixes various problems with German manual
page output. Closes: #492368
* Recode all manual pages to UTF-8 and re-enable Russian manual page
generation, now that pod2man has a --utf8 option. Requires perl (>=
5.10.0-16) as bug #500210 broke the Russian pages. Closes: #485756
