NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed packageSYNOPSIS
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.
- -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.
