Hello,
Here's a patch that fix the "Unknown template field" errors that debconf encounters.
However, dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm still doesn't work as it just spits out the following output :
# dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm ipvsadm
* ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please run dpkg-reconfigure ipvsadm
* ipvsadm is not configured to run. Please edit /etc/default/
I'm not sure how to fix it myself.
Best regards,
Joris
