severity 602738 minor
tags 602738 wontfix

Thank you for this bug report. I'm a little bit confused with the
severity. I can not find a Debian Policy exception where the Debconf
question/answer stage can not end in an endless loop. Only if such a
restriction exists within the Debian Policy the severity serious
should be set.

You can not install bugzilla without a valid configuration. At least
MySQL have to run and you need to know the admin account. I got tons
of error reports where people did not answer the Debconf question as
requested. The user can break the question/answer loop at any time but
know that the setup fail.

I put in consideration to detect piuparts and disable the setup of
bugzilla. The idea behind piuparts is only to check the low-level
installation/de-installation but not if bugzilla is working. I've
changed the severity to minor because it's only a issue with piuparts
but not for real life situations.

Greetings,
Raphael
