I found that the installation of the package debian-goodies always prompts the popularity contest configuration, and that way, I can't install debian-goodies in a script. I also tried: echo "" | apt install debian-goodies -y And: yes | apt install debian-goodies -y I tried both apt and apt-get. How can I install debian-goodies in a script without manual user interaction?
Don't know if this will work for debian-goodies but this is the best I've found for silencing any questions: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -o APT::Install-Recommends=false -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" -y install $source_deps </dev/null You may possibly want to tweak or remove some of those options...
