Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debconf
calling debconf-show as an unprivileged user with --db=config (which an
unprivileged user has access to unlike the password db) always attemops
to open the password database as well:
o...@cmpc:~$ debconf-show --db=config tzdata
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
tzdata/Zones/Australia:
...
instead of attempting to open all DBs it should restrict itself to only
use the DbDriver on the specificed database.
** Affects: debconf (Ubuntu)
