[Bug 1077874] Re: installation of ipvsadm is broken : unknown template field, can't dpkg-reconfigure

Mon Nov 12 12:55:39 UTC 2012

Hello,

Here's a patch that fix the "Unknown template field" errors that debconf
encounters.

However, dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm still doesn't work as it just spits
out the following output :

# dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm
 * ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please run dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm
 * ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please edit /etc/default/ipvsadm

I'm not sure how to fix it myself.

Best regards,
Joris
