[Bug 1406700] Re: package cacti 0.8.8b+dfsg-5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Paul Gevers]

Hi,

You dpkgTerminalLog.txt file shows a lot of errors. One of them being
that debconf questions could not be asked. This results in failure of
dbconfig-common to ask you the root password to log into the mysql
database.

For you to work around this, is to fix the issue with debconf not being allowed to ask questions and reconfigure cacti:
dpkg-reconfigure cacti.

dbconfig-common should be improved to not FAIL in such cases, so
reassigning there.


** Package changed: cacti (Ubuntu) => dbconfig-common (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- package cacti 0.8.8b+dfsg-5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ dbconfig-common should not fail if the root password is not asked (e.g. in noninteractive mode)
