[Gllug] CFengine and dpkg/dselect

[Rich Walker]

Hi,

I've probably missed something obvious here.

I'm trying to use cfengine to make sure various machines have the right
stuff installed on them. A line like:

	linux.installpackages::
		"/usr/bin/apt-get  -y install hdparm ksymoops emacs21 emacs-goodies-el global gcc g++ flex bison libc6-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpopt-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline4-dev libieee1284-3-dev picp gputils libroy-dev libjudy-dev libraw1394-dev libdc1394-11-dev libglut3-dev unifdef docbook-utils geda geda-utils geda-gsymcheck pcb geda-symbols "

(apologies for length)

works, allowing me to do
# cfagent -v -q -Dinstallpackages
and get the packages installed. But if any of them happens to want to
ask a question, the whole process breaks.

What can I replace the apt-get with, so that the next time I run
dselect/apt-get install from the console of the machine, it does the
install then, and asks the questions then?

cheers, Rich.
