Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.70
a debconf-get-selections followed by a debconf-set-selections doesn't
appear to be honoured by dpkg-reconfigure.
$ dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
answer mcw for the mail_to
$ grep MAIL_TO /etc/default/mdadm
MAIL_TO="mcw"
$ grep -C3 mail_to /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
Owners: mdadm
Flags: seen
Name: mdadm/mail_to
Template: mdadm/mail_to
Value: mcw
Owners: mdadm
Flags: seen
$ debconf-get-selections > /root/sel
$ dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
answer root for the mail_to
$ grep MAIL_TO /etc/default/mdadm
MAIL_TO="root"
$ grep -C3 mail_to /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
Owners: mdadm
Flags: seen
Name: mdadm/mail_to
Template: mdadm/mail_to
Value: root
Owners: mdadm

$ debconf-set-selections /root/sel
$ grep -C3 mail_to /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
Owners: mdadm
Flags: seen
Name: mdadm/mail_to
Template: mdadm/mail_to
Value: mcw
Owners: mdadm
Flags: seen
$ dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
and root is the default value in the mail_to
i was expecting to see mcw as the default value in the mail_to since
that is what is in debconf's database.
thanks
