I will file a bug if think it's best. I ran the
command as you specified and it seems that their are
some questions that need to be answered and the the
install/configure process is getting in a loop. How
does one reset the importance level of questions that
will be displayed during an install?
Here is a snippet of the output of the command:
debconf (developer): --> 0 ok
debconf (developer): <-- GET
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name
debconf (developer): --> 0
debconf (developer): <-- FGET
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd seen
debconf (developer): --> 0 false
debconf (developer): <-- SET bugzilla/pwd_check
debconf (developer): --> 0 value set
debconf (developer): <-- BEGINBLOCK
debconf (developer): --> 0
debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name
debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped
debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_real_name
debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped
debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd
debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped
debconf (developer): <-- ENDBLOCK
debconf (developer): --> 0
debconf (developer): <-- GO
debconf (developer): --> 0 ok
debconf (developer): <-- GET
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_name
debconf (developer): --> 0
debconf (developer): <-- FGET
bugzilla/bugzilla_admin_pwd seen
debconf (developer): --> 0 false
debconf (developer): <-- SET bugzilla/pwd_check
Thanks for the tip!
