6 dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
7
9 dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
10
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
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.
