!!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.


This has the same effect as re-installing the package,
basically. I hope one day this will be called by dpkg
--reconfigure
!!OPTIONS


__-f__''type'',
__--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.


__-p__''value'',
__--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.


__--all__


Reconfigure all installed packages that use debconf.
Warning: this may take a long time.


__-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.


__-h__, __--help__


Display usage help.
