reopen 278566 thanks It turns out that reverting Christian's change does not fix the problem in apt-setup. Christian's change was indeed buggy, but the buggy behavior was not that described in this bug report. The bug here is that apt-setup (and tzsetup) use ask_q functions, which try to allow for preseeding by not unsetting the seen flag before displaying a question. This works ok the first time they are run, but if they are re-selected in the first base-config run, the questions are not redisplayed. Perhaps the way to fix this is to make ask_q unset the seen flag after asking the question. Then preseeding will still work since the question should only be asked once then, and re-running apt-setup should also work since seen questions will be marked as not seen. -- see shy jo
