DPKG-RECONFIGURE
Section: Debconf (8)
Updated: 2011-01-30
NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been
installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure. It
will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first
installed.
If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see
debconf-show(1) instead.
OPTIONS
- -ftype, --frontend=type
-
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed
by:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive
frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead, so you
actually get to reconfigure the package.
- -pvalue, --priority=value
-
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what your
default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
- --default-priority
-
Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the
priority to low.
- -a, --all
-
Reconfigure all installed packages that use debconf. Warning: this may take
a long time.
- -u, --unseen-only
-
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been
answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have not yet
been seen will be asked.
- --force
-
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an
inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
- --no-reload
-
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this
will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates databases.
However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the
templates database is expensive.
- -h, --help
-
Display usage help.
