openssl should register libraries/restart-without-asking template or handle gracefully when it is missing

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Javier López (javier-lopez)]

I can confirm this affects the bionic-updates 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.2 package, therefore a backport to bionic and other affected releases will be required

[Javier López (javier-lopez)]

For those affected, you can run:

    $ echo 'libssl1.1 libraries/restart-without-asking boolean true' | debconf-set-selections

Previous to attempting to install the package

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

@javier

I recommend instead:

dpkg-reconfigure libc6
dpkg --configure -a

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Because your solution, answers the template without showing it to the user without the appropriate warning as to what the implications of setting it to true are.

[Javier López (javier-lopez)]

Thank you for the recommendation Dimitri, I think I understand the implications, just wanted to share a way to keep a non interactive installation for those affected, however indeed I think that's a better solution for casual users.
