apt-utils
When did apt-utils become mandatory? I just did an apt-get upgrade (in
testing) and it died immediately after downloading packages with the message
debconf: cannot preconfigure packages -- apt-utils is not installed
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true
Installing apt-utils fixed this, but I thought it was supposed to be
optional. (No, I don't want to use it until it actually works. In theory,
apt-utils is supposed to let you answer all the packages' questions up front.
In practice, every question that I answer up front is asked again later,
completely ignoring my previous answers. How is that supposed to be
helpful?)
