Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-12.1
Severity: important
I've found this problem when mass-installing all packages using
pbuilder.
gpm tries to prompt the user, and repeat endlessly if
stdin is redirected from /dev/null
Please use debconf when interacting with user, or
fall back sensibly when noninteractivity is required
(i.e. DEBIAN_FRONTNEND=noninteractive)
The log of the run contained:
===============================================
Current configuration: -m /dev/psaux -t autops2 -Rms3
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: autops2
Repeat_Type: ms3
Do you want to change anything (Y/n)? Where is your mouse [/dev/psaux]?
> What type is your mouse (or help) [autops2]?
> Set the responsiveness (normally not needed) []?
> Repeat protocol (enter 'none' to turn repeating off) [ms3]?
> Do you want to add any additional arguments []?
>
Current configuration: -m /dev/psaux -t autops2 -Rms3
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: autops2
===============================================
$ ls -lh gpm.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9G Mar 20 04:00 gpm.log
and the install log seems to have gotten big enough :P

junichi

Hi Junichi,
Latest gpm on sid (version 1.19.6-14) has debconf support now,
so I'm closing this bug report.

guillem
