[Bug 53049] Re: Fails to upgrade non-interactively
This morning cron mailed me again about this debconf error about not beeing able to set frontend, TERM not set, etc. Unfortunatelly I've deleted the mail already. The orcward thing is aptitude runs fine acording to my logs and installes packages from hardy-security just fine. Last time was Jul 10 23:17:01 CEST. Any suggestions? Meight this bug still not be fixed; not for desktop repos? Or what meight I be doing wrong? Cheers.

This was never a bug in samba, but in update-inetd; and the current version of the update-inetd package is debconf-aware, so doesn't happen with the current version.

[Bug 53049] Re: Fails to upgrade non-interactively
you're right Sam Morris, thing is update-inetd does not check the variable "DEBCONF_FRONTEND", but checks "DEBIAN_FRONTEND" if it is set to noninteractive ... so this is no bug of samba directly (i encountered this one when installing postfix via onetime bootscript), but it is a problem w. debian/ubuntu variables i guess. at least setting "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive" did the trick for me ;) this is an issue in many packages ... (eg. ssl-cert) some rely on being called from an interactive console to be installed, even if no (debconf-)questions need to be asked at all -- Fails to upgrade non-interactively https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Check update-inetd line 29. I think that if it fails to open /dev/tty then it should fall back to /dev/null (which is used in the first place if DEBCONF_FRONTEND=noninteractive). -- Fails to upgrade non-interactively https://launchpad.net/bugs/53049 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Isn't the error the failure of update-inetd? Anyway, the command in /etc/crontab is: apt-get -qq --yes dist-upgrade -- Fails to upgrade non-interactively https://launchpad.net/bugs/53049 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 53049] Re: Fails to upgrade non-interactively
The issue is the line that says "Starting Samba ..." that needed to be output to the terminal. Shall we mark this bug as a wishlist item that says the that the output should/could be suppressed when run non- interactively? What was the command you were running from Cron, in any case?
