Class: DebConf_1_0 ../../configlet.py

DebConf implementation for debconf 1.0.

This is the implementation of the DebConf class that works with debconf 1.0, the currently shipping version of debconf in Debian.

set ( self,  debconf_info )

Setting debconf info is a bit tricky. There's a bug in debconf-communicate where it doesn't always run right if you pipe lots of debconf commands to it at once, so for safety's sake, we need to send one command at a time. However, we need to run it with privilege, and the privileged runner interface doesn't provide a way to do pipes (yet). So, we run a little shell script on the other side of the privileged runner, piping a temp file into it.
