> Key: BIGTOP-1033
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1033
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tests
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0
> Reporter: Wing Yew Poon
> Assignee: Wing Yew Poon
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> This issue pertains to bigtop-test-framework, not bigtop-tests.
> When running the package tests, specifically upgrade tests, on debian
> platforms, doing "env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install
> ${pkg.name}" is not enough. dpkg will prompt you as to what to do about conf
> files that have been modified, and the tests will fail because they don't
> respond to the prompts.
> According to
> http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/,
> you can use --force-conf* options; in particular
> --force-confold: do not modify the current configuration file, the new
> version is installed with a .dpkg-dist suffix. With this option alone, even
> configuration files that you have not modified are left untouched. You need
> to combine it with --force-confdef to let dpkg overwrite configuration files
> that you have not modified.
