In this case, just don’t set the questions as seen, and that’s all. They’ll be ignored or re-asked later, depending on the case.

I was talking about the Gnome.pm frontend for Debconf. As for the socket idea, this is just a hack; if you’re working on a D-Bus-based frontend for APT, you need to use D-Bus for all communication. > > Ugh, that’s an absolutely horrible and broken solution.

Yes, OTOH it could fit as a backend to update-manager. Cheers, -- .''`.
