FWIW, there's no /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure in the bora SDK either, not in fakedebconf and not in its real debconf. The sharutils package there doesn't depend on dpkg-preconfigure in its install scripts either as far as I can tell.

Thanks
Thanks for this. I have no way to check
It latest debconf it is.
Yes it doesn't depend but I guess some conf variables are handled by debconf, that's why it's calling it.
What I'm interested is to know if I'm the only one who get this message, if it comes from my installation
I get this every time in fact.. argggg

Unfortunately I can't help you with the Chinook setup.. I haven't migrated yet. But there must be lots of people on this forum who could chime in? Hello?

Under Gentoo, you probably will have to compile dpkg and then just copy the dpkg binaries as needed.

Since this one of the top google results, let me clarify:
t's not a error, it is a warning.
dpkg-preconfigure is a tool to ask debconf questions before packages are installed. If it missing, questions will be asked during install.
If you are having package install problems and you see this message, it is not caused by this message, but rather be some of the other messages given to you (Usually it means you have messed /etc/apt/sources.list).

The packages install fine but I hope this doesn't break things in long term..
Any ideas?
Is my install broken? I had to play a bit with this still_broken_repositories.
I can't remember I had this under bora. Should have kept an archive..
