Bug Description

Binary package hint: debconf

Debconf has to be set to Gnome frontend (uses package libgnome2-perl) in Ubuntu and to Kde frontend (uses package libqt-perl) in Kubuntu.

When I install or just run dpkg-reconfigure some-package in Ubuntu 9.04 GNOME desktop I get questions asked in terminal instead of user-friendly graphical window. Problem is, that debconf frontend in Ubuntu 9.04 GNOME desktop is set to Dialog instead of Gnome in Ubuntu and Kde (libqt-perl) in Kubuntu :

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grep -A3 "debconf/frontend" /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
Name: debconf/frontend
Template: debconf/frontend
Value: Dialog
Owners: debconf
Flags: seen
