Subject: debconf-set-selections: --checkonly issues warning about password
db
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:23:06 -0700
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.24
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections
when running debconf-set-selections --checkonly as a non-root user, it issues
the following warning:
debconf-set-selections --checkonly /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles/default.preseed
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
is it possible to check the format of a preseeding file without actually
accessing the debconf password database and issuing a warning?
that would be nice. thanks!
live well,
vagrant
