NAME

6       dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
7

SYNOPSIS

9        dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been
13       installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
14       It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was
15       first installed.
16
17       If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see
18       debconf-show(1) instead.
19

OPTIONS

21       -ftype, --frontend=type
22           Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently
23           changed by:
24
25            dpkg-reconfigure debconf
26
27           Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the
28           noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog
29           frontend instead, so you actually get to reconfigure the package.
30
31       -pvalue, --priority=value
32           Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
33           dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter
34           what your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
35
36       --default-priority
37           Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of
38           forcing the priority to low.
39
40       -u, --unseen-only
41           By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been
42           answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
43           not yet been seen will be asked.
44
45       --force
46           Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package
47           is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
48
49       --no-reload
50           Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with
51           caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken
52           templates databases.  However, it may be useful in constrained
53           environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.
54
55       -h, --help
56           Display usage help.
