Public bug reported: AFFECTED RELEASE:
Bionic PACKAGE VERSION: debconf - 1.5.66 DESCRIPTION: When upgrading the kernel on a recent Bionic minimal image, the user is prompted to resolve a conflict in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. The minimal images do not have dialog/whiptail installed, so debconf falls back to using the readline frontend. The user sees the prompt: "What would you like to do about menu.lst?" but is not presented with the list of options to choose from. If a valid option is typed in, debconf will continue processing correctly and the list of options appears on the screen. See also https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/8xvSn88SKG/ STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Launch the minimal Bionic image with serial 20190212 http://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/bionic/release-20190212/ubuntu-18.04 -minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img for example via multipass and run `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist- upgrade`. ** Affects: debconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822270 Title: Debconf readline frontend does not show options Status in debconf package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: AFFECTED RELEASE: Bionic PACKAGE VERSION: debconf - 1.5.66 DESCRIPTION: When upgrading the kernel on a recent Bionic minimal image, the user is prompted to resolve a conflict in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.
