debconf back from gtk to text, how

[Ingo Reimann]

Hi guys,

a maybe silly question:

when i installed debconf, i was happy, when he asked my, whether to use some
nice gtk-interface or not.
I thought, this was a good idea, and so during apt-get update/upgrade, some
windows pops up an vanishes, but I only see a black box. How do i get rid of
this an switch to a text-based output

Thanks alot,

Ingo Reimann

Run dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=text debconf and this time read the note
saying that the GTK interface is experimental, and make your coice more
wisely.

Note that if you upgraded to unstable in the past few days, that won't work
and you should just delete /var/lib/debconf/debconf.db instead. (It will
start working again tomorrow..)
