| antarus | cjwatson: why does debconf store its answers in /var/cache, it is wrong ;p | 19:39 |
|---|---|---|
| antarus | /var/lib! | 19:39 |
| cjwatson | antarus: predates me, but I think the answer is actually that it *is* meant to be a cache and that the bug is that recovery from it being removed isn't as graceful as it should be | 20:32 |
| antarus | cjwatson: yeah I ended up finding a horrible solution | 20:48 |
| antarus | involving dpkg-reconfiguring every installed package at critical priority ;p | 20:48 |
| antarus | (with a non-interactive frontend) | 20:48 |
| antarus | luckily we don't actually rely on debconf for much post-install ;) | 20:48 |
| antarus | it wouldn't have helped anyway, users were just copying and pasting crap they read on a forum | 20:48 |
| * antarus grumbles | 20:48 | |
| ogra_ | aret forums great :) | 20:52 |
| ogra_ | *arent | 20:53 |
| antarus | yeah I yelled passive-aggressively on google+ | 20:54 |
| * antarus would rather they go to helpdesk and get help than run random comands, when they obviously don't know what the commands do | 20:55 | |
| antarus | aside from 'delete files' ;p | 20:55 |
