debconf 1.5.17 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

debconf (1.5.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Partial support for cancelable progress bars. While the dialog frontend
    cannot support them due to limitations in whiptail(1) and dialog(1),
    and I haven't implemented support in frontends like gnome or kde,
    the confmodule does now check to see if the frontend's progress bar
    methods return nonzero, and will pass that nonzero status along
    to the caller.
  * Implemented support for cancelable progress bars in the passthrough
    frontend.
  * debconf-apt-progress: Check for the progress bar being canceled, and if
    this happens, try to kill the apt process. Users of debconf-apt-progress
    that want a cancelable progress bar can thus just set the progresscancel
    capb before calling it and everything should work. Of course, this should
    only be done when the apt operation being run is one that can be cleanly
    killed.
  * debconf-apt-progress: Notice if the child exited abnormally, and exit
    nonzero.
  * Avoid setting a default title of "Configuring " when starting up the
    frontend if no package name could be determined.
  * Fix the passthrough frontend to not clear the capb on startup.
  * debconf-apt-progress: Add --dlwaypoint option.
