Also, since my bug was listed as a duplicate of this one, if you press cancel, it leaves wahtever package unconfigured and then causes broken packages
but then colin replied to my bug report: "For what it's worth, it doesn't break the package manager at all - any package management frontend worth its salt can recover easily, or you can run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' from a terminal." Well, i am a fairly experienced linux user, and I did not know about that command, i had only known about apt-get -f install and that could not fix it, i had to run some other command to run pending configure scripts after poking around the ubuntu+1 irc channel for help (maybe that is it?) point is, if a user accidentally hits cancel, then thats going to cause broken packages, and a normal user is not going to know how to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal to fix it, and its going to cause frustration ( as it did for me) I think that there should be no way of exiting out of debconf...and instead just forcing the user to make a decision, to prevent leaving packages unconfigured -- When viewing a diff, button functions are deceptive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
