dpkg-reconfigure(8)

NAME

   dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package

SYNOPSIS

    dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages

DESCRIPTION

   dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been
   installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
   It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was
   first installed.

   If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see
   debconf-show(1) instead.

OPTIONS

   -ftype, --frontend=type
       Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently
       changed by:

        dpkg-reconfigure debconf

       Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the
       noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog
       frontend instead, so you actually get to reconfigure the package.

   -pvalue, --priority=value
       Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
       dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter
       what your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.

   --default-priority
       Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of
       forcing the priority to low.

   -u, --unseen-only
       By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been
       answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
       not yet been seen will be asked.

   --force
       Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package
       is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.

   --no-reload
       Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with
       caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken
       templates databases.  However, it may be useful in constrained
       environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.

   -h, --help
       Display usage help.
