[Bug 1076322] Re: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't reconfigure more than one named package

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debconf - 1.5.48ubuntu1

---------------
debconf (1.5.48ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #1060249).  Remaining changes:
    - Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons, to avoid breaking
      maintainer scripts.

debconf (1.5.48) unstable; urgency=low

  * dpkg-reconfigure: Fix incorrect scoping of control_path that broke
    handling of multiple packages (closes: #690755, LP: #1076322).

debconf (1.5.47) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Manpages translations ]
  * German updated.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * GTK frontend: Do additional probing in child process to catch cases
    where trying to use GTK will cause an otherwise uncatchable crash.
    Closes: #690776 Thanks, James Hunt
  * debconf-devel.7: Mention that CAPB capabilities are separated with spaces.
    Closes: #694626

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * dpkg-reconfigure: Fix trigger processing to cope properly if some of the
    triggered packages use debconf (closes: #686071).

Title:
  dpkg-reconfigure doesn't reconfigure more than one named package

Status in “debconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure pkg1 pkg2 ... pkgn", I would expect it
  to reconfigure these packages.

  Instead, on my system, it is reconfiguring pkg1 n times.

  For example:
  "$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata keyboard-configuration
