Bug Description

[Impact]

non-interactive installations of 389-ds-base fail

[Test Case]

try to install the package noninteractively

[Regression Potential]

none, the bug is caused by old packaging leftovers that should be removed

I'm using the Quantal version of this package, back-ported (myself) to a Precise system, however the same bug is present on Precise.

I'm attempting to install this package using Puppet, which uses the equivalent of the following command to do so:

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install 389-ds-base

This results in the following error:

dpkg: error processing 389-ds-base (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
389-ds-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

When run under DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, I get

debconf (developer): frontend started
debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is 389-ds-base
debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/389-ds-base.config configure
debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high 389-ds-base/setup
debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped
dpkg: error processing 389-ds-base (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
389-ds-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

As far as I can tell, the problem exists because the debconf key is specified as high priority, even though all it does is display a note, making this a packaging issue.

On further googling, this looks to be related to http://<email address hidden>/msg1042641.html so may already be fixed upstream.

The fix for this does not appear to be available in Precise running the latest packages.

It looks like Precise is still using 1.2.10.4-0ubuntu3 which I have confirmed still has the question in 389-ds-base.config.

Please back-port this to Precise for all of us that need to use LTS for production systems.
