During unattended-upgrades (--verbose) I get this for each upgraded package: debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

How to deal with this? I installed apt-utils thereafter, but that does not make my packages properly configured as such.

P.S. I noticed that apt-utils was removed long time ago together with ubuntu-minimal when I tested newer version of apt from focal-proposed.

You can use dpkg-reconfigure to (re)configure already-installed packages. You can use the -a (--all) flag to reconfigure all packages, or specify the package you want to configure. For other available options, see the dpkg-reconfigure man page.

  • `-a (--all)` has been unknown option for long time, though it still is present as tab-completion. https://askubuntu.com/q/775328/21005 – jarno Nov 06 '22 at 13:08
