This has nothing to do with DEBIAN_FRONTEND What it is asking for is what to do with the config files to be installed postint. Yes/No/Replace...etc
To make the decision noninteractively as to not stop in the middle of an apt-get install ( useful for using apt-get in bash scripts that need to be noninteractive) use the below command. DEBIAN_FRONTEND='noninteractive' apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::='--force- confnew' -y install PACKAGE_HERE -- DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive is ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92265 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
