openswan unattended installation problem

[Vasea Pupkin]

There is an informational message displayed when openswan package installs (probably invoked by apt-get through debconf). It is about runlevel changes.

It is not possible to ignore this message and build a truly unattended install. I have found that line 199 in the openswan.postinst ignores any value of openswan/runlevel_changes note by setting the seen flag to false (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/openswan/precise/view/head:/debian/openswan.postinst#L199).

Please fix this by not ignoring any value set or fix the problem causing the need to display such message.

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

I'm having the same issue when trying to automate using debconf-set-selections

I tried setting:
openswan openswan/runlevel_changes note

Did not stop the note from showing.

Is it possible to simply not show this warning?

I am running into this as well

I got around this problem with:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install --yes --force-yes openswan
Hope this helps someone.
