[Bug 1018884] Re: debconf: setting console triggers update-initramfs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debconf - 1.5.45ubuntu1

---------------
debconf (1.5.45ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons, to avoid breaking
      maintainer scripts.
  * dpkg-reconfigure: Drop support for old dpkg-query ${PackageSpec}, since
    Ubuntu has a newer dpkg now.

debconf (1.5.45) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Programs translations ]
  * German updated.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * dpkg-reconfigure: Fix dpkg-query parsing when detecting which triggers
    are pending (LP: #1018884).

Title:
  debconf: setting console triggers update-initramfs

Status in “debconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  after launching a fresh quantal instance of the cloud images in EC2, I then ran:
    apt-get install pastebinit
  and saw:

  $ sudo apt-get install pastebinit

  Clearly, pastebinit should not have caused an update of the initramfs.

  I asked in #ubuntu-devel and cjwatson made some suggestions on debugging what is causing this.  See
