| 14:12.18 | morsing | dpkg: error: --configure needs a valid package name but '-a' is not: illegal package name in specifier '-a': must start with an alphanumeric character |
| 14:12.35 | morsing | But yes, it's in the man page, just doesn't work |
| 14:13.28 | morsing | Ah, no package name :-) |
| 14:52.51 | morsing | Elleo: Still not working though |
| 16:05.10 | Elleo | --configure -a should work without a package name normally, the -a tells it to configure all currently unconfigured packages |
| 16:05.32 | Elleo | any luck with running dpkg-reconfigure directly on mysql-server-5.5? |
| 20:02.11 | morsing | Elleo: No, both do exactly the same as just --configure |
| 20:35.08 | ChoHag | dpkg --configure -a has worked for more than a decade. |
| 20:35.53 | ChoHag | I can't believe even you're using a version of Debian old enough to lack that ability. |
