=head1 NAME

dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb

 dpkg-preconfigure --apt

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<dpkg-preconfigure> lets packages ask questions before they are installed.
It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that use debconf
will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask
questions.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-f>I<type>, B<--frontend=>I<type>

Select the frontend to use.

=item B<-p>I<value>, B<--priority=>I<value>

Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions
with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored and their
default answers will be used.

=item B<--terse>

Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.

=item B<--apt>

Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from
stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this is used to
make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed.
To do this, add something like this to /etc/apt/apt.conf:

 // Pre-configure all packages before
 // they are installed.
 DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
 	"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
 };

=item B<-h>, B<--help>

Display usage help.

# was. One thing someone encountered was perl failing to install. Apt then
# was re-run with perl unpacked and not configured, and modules weren't
# able to be loaded. As a sanity check, detect that case. If found, exit with
# an error message, but a return code of 0 so apt continues.
