</div>You likely can check the list of process (ps auxf) and find out a package<br>
name in sub-process of dpkg-reconfigure.<br>
<br>
Please attach the output of "ps auxf" when dpkg-reconfigure is blocked.<br></blockquote><div><br>Hey,<br><br>I've found 3 packages that behave like this when using dpkg-reconfigure. These are:<br>autoconf/testing uptodate 2.64-4<br>
coreutils/testing uptodate 7.4-2<br>cpio/testing uptodate 2.10-1<br>sml-mode/testing uptodate 4.0-7<br><br>However, they aren't listed with ps auxf, as dpkg-reconfigure terminates after the error message is shown. I found them manually (when I was bored and started to play with apt-show-versions).<br>
dpkg-reconfigure -a comes to autoconf on my desktop and to coreutils on my laptop (where autoconf apparently isn't installed).<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>dpkg-reconfigure is not part of dpkg but of "debconf". Thus reassigning.<br>
Its maitainers can reassign or clone the bug report to the problematic<br>
package once it's known.<br><br></blockquote><div> Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was part of dpkg because dpkg was in the packages name. My bad.<br><br>/K<br></div></div>
