Unattended installation...
I am trying to do some unattended installation of debian boxes using
apt-get. I use `-q -y' options as well as a prepared debconf cache. Everything
is fine but sometimes apt asks me some question about files already installed
(some files are those I tailored for my boxes) like this one :
Configuration file `/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50tramp.el'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** 50tramp.el (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
How may I prevent apt-get to ask me those questions ?
BTW, Isn't it time to enforce all packages to use debconf (even lilo does not
use it, I was forced to build my own lilo packages to avoid it using
liloconfig :-(
