dpkg-reconfigure throws error when extra_args are already defined #79

Closed dschaper closed 6 years ago

dschaper commented 9 years ago

Extra_Args are already defined as EXTRA_ARGS="--dcfilter --measure-noise". When running dpkg-reconfigure, debconf fails after 'dump1090 can log all messages' question with error

"Invalid option "--dcfilter --measure-noise" debconf: dialog output the above errors, giving up!

This is a bit weird because I have installs with EXTRA_ARGS set and they are fine

I've never had a problem before, I'll do some more digging around, I have a few other anomalies that are coming up on a test box running Wily, like dump1090-mutability dropping stats to the logfile multiple times per second. I wonder if Ubuntu has a bug in their debconf? I'll do more research on it and see where I can reproduce the activity and where it's okay...

You can turn on a bunch of debugging if you set DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer:

$ sudo bash
# DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability

Thanks, I'll play around with that. Learning how to package deb's now, since Jessie came out for Raspbian I'm dropping Arch except for the VPN node...

Okay, it has something to do with this version of dialog. 

DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability

Throws an error, but readline is just fine

DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure dump1090-mutability -f readline
