[SOLVED] expect and debconf problems
Hello I'm trying to install zabbix-proxy with dpkg -i and not to use dbconfig-common, is a remote installation, I tried using expect to ansewer no to the first dbconfig dialog, the one that asks if you want to configure everything with dbconfig or not.
This is the bash code
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=teletype (or export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline)
/usr/bin/expect - << ENDMARK
spawn dpkg -i zabbix-proxy-mysql_1.8.2-1~bpo50+1_i386.deb
send "n"
send "\n"
interact
ENDMARK
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog
but is not working, same thing if I try with dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 and send "new_password"
any ideas of what am I doing wrong?
thank you very much!
