NAME
       dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package

SYNOPSIS
	dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages

DESCRIPTION
       dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages
       to reconfigure. It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.

       If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf-show(1) instead.

OPTIONS
       -ftype, --frontend=type
	   Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by:

	    dpkg-reconfigure debconf

	   Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog
	   frontend instead, so you actually get to reconfigure the package.

       -pvalue, --priority=value
	   Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.  dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority
	   questions no matter what your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.

       --default-priority
	   Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low.

       -a, --all
	   Reconfigure all installed packages that use debconf. Warning: this may take a long time.

       -u, --unseen-only
	   By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only
	   questions that have not yet been seen will be asked.

       --force
	   Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with
	   caution.

       --no-reload
	   Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing
	   broken templates databases.	However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates
	   database is expensive.

       -h, --help
	   Display usage help.
