20
21 __dpkg-reconfigure__ reconfigures packages after they
22 have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package
23 or packages to reconfigure.
24
25
26 This has the same effect as re-installing the package,
27 basically. I hope one day this will be called by dpkg
28 --reconfigure

36 Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be
37 permanently changed by:
38
39
40 dpkg-reconfigure debconf
41 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.

44 __-p__''value'',
45 __--priority=__''value''
46

48 Specify the minimum priority of question that will be

50 questions no matter what your default priority
51 is.
