=head1 NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
=head1 SYNOPSIS
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<dpkg-reconfigure> reconfigures packages after they have already been
installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
This has the same effect as re-installing the package, basically. I hope
one day this will be called by dpkg --reconfigure
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-f>I<type>, B<--frontend=>I<type>
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed
by:
dpkg-reconfigure cdebconf
Note that if you normally have cdebconf set to use the noninteractive
frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead, so you
actually get to reconfigure the package.
=item B<-p>I<value>, B<--priority=>I<value>
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what your
default priority is.
=item B<--all>
Reconfigure all installed packages that use cdebconf. Warning: this may take
a long time.
=item B<-u>, B<--unseen-only>
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been
answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have not yet
been seen will be asked.
=item B<--force>
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an
inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
=item B<-h>, B<--help>
Display usage help.
