# sh test.sh
hi
spawn dpkg-reconfigure -freadline dash
# 


sorry, no
If I just type: "dpkg-reconfigure dash" it still on "Yes" by default, it doesn't change to "no"

I tried to use expect, just to give "dpkg-reconfigure dash" a "no" answer.

I'm here right now:

----------------------------------------
# cat test.sh

#!/bin/bash

echo "hi"


/usr/bin/expect - << EndMark
spawn dpkg-reconfigure dash
expect "*"
send "no"
EndMark
exit 0

echo "done"



Does changing to -

spawn dpkg-reconfigure -freadline dash

.... help?
