[Bug 277722] Re: Adept 3 missing details option in updater

[Jonathan Thomas]

Adept isn't using a terminal kpart to present debconf questions, but that doesn't necessarily  mean that it can't ask the questions at all. ;-)
Adept 3 seems to display the message on directly the application background, with pushbuttons, etc to get feedback from the user. An example of this is installing java, which uses debconf to present the user with a license agreement.

Adept 3 does, however, fail to present debconf questions concerning
configuration files that new packages bring. (Replace or keep old one)
Currently Adept just takes the default route and keeps the old one. I
don't know the seriousness of the implications of this behavior however.
I think we discussed this on IRC and you said it was quite serious...

Anyway, at the least we should ask upstream to implement a way to answer
prompts for config file changes, or implement them ourselves for
upstream. We should also probably consider other debconf questions and
see how Adept3 handles them.
