Обсуждение: apt-get -yq purge postgresql-common shows interactive dialog

Hi,

I’m running uninstall of postgres-common from a script that runs in a non-interactive SSH session.

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

apt-get -yq purge postgresql-common

The uninstall ignores -yq apt-get options and DEBIAN_FRONTEND variable and shows the following dialog:

Package configuration

  ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┤ Configuring postgresql-12 ├───────────────────────────────────────────┐

  │                                                                                                                  │

  │ Removing the PostgreSQL server package will leave existing database clusters intact, i.e. their configuration,   │

  │ data, and log directories will not be removed. On purging the package, the directories can optionally be         │

  │ removed.                                                                                                         │

  └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Please provide a way to suppress this dialog and pass a default selection via command line.
