Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.7
Severity: important
After installing popularity-contest, the default participation value was
off (I have it set to only ask high priority questions). Debconf
prompted me by email to run:
dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest
to turn popularity-contest on or off. I ran dpkg-reconfigure, and when
asked if I wanted to participate, I responded "Yes". Even after doing
so, /etc/popularity-contest.conf still contained the following:
# PARTICIPATE can be one of "yes" or "no". If you don't want to
# participate in the contest, say "no" and we won't send messages.
#
# If this option is missing, the default is "no".
#
PARTICIPATE=no
As far as I can tell the only way I can (currently) turn popularity
contest on is by manually editing this file.

Changes:
popularity-contest (1.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Petter Reinholdtsen
- Add Dutch debconf template translation (nl.po). File from
Bart Cornelis. (Closes: #217038)
- Add URLs to the project home page in manual page and README file.
- Make it possible to reconfigure this package by calling
'dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest', to get the code in
base-config working as it should. (Closes: #228535).
This should still fix bug #135273, as the current PARTICIPATE
value is taken from the current config file, and only that
variable is modified if the user using debconf change the value.
- Collect and report the content of /etc/debian_version.
- Start using generic address survey@popcon.debian.org. (Closes: #206830)
- Ask if the submit address should be changed on upgrades and
reconfigures. This should activate the new address on old
installations.
- Updated all translation files with the new question text.
- Started on Norwegian Bokmål debconf translation (no.po).
* Bill Allombert
- control: change exim to exim4. (Closes: #228575)
- Update documentation to refer to popcon.debian.org.
