I want to install dpkg-reconfigure
in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install on Amazon EC2? How to go about it?
4 Answers
dpkg-reconfigure
is provided by the debconf
package, which should always be installed in any Ubuntu 12.04 install. If it's not, use:
sudo apt-get install debconf
In your case, you are running Amazon's AMI Linux which is based on CentOS, not Ubuntu. That's why apt-get
or dpkg-reconfgure
, which are native to Debian/Ubuntu, are not available on your EC2 instance.

It is not installed and when I run your suggested I am getting the response
sudo: apt-get: command not found

1If
apt-get
is not available on an Ubuntu EC2 instance, you should open a ticket with Amazon Support...– ishAug 13, 2012 at 12:48 -
I have asked a related question here askubuntu.com/questions/175325/… Aug 13, 2012 at 13:25

Answered that and edited this one. You need to install an official Ubuntu AMI; Amazons is based on CentOS which is quite different as you're finding out.– ishAug 13, 2012 at 13:31
Normally it's already installed in Ubuntu. But if you are using some customized version without dpkg, you should be able to install using the command
sudo apt-get install dpkg

If debconf
is installed, it's located in /usr/sbin
what might not be in your PATH
variable.
On a fresh Kubuntu 12.10 install, you will need to install these additional packages:
- ia32libs (¼ GiB!)
- libc6-i386
- lib32asound2
- lib32z1
- nspluginwrapper
If you forget one, and try to install the Receiver deb package, the package system will end up in sort of a limbo. In that case (only!), run:
$ sudo dpkg -r icaclient
To remove the half-installed Receiver and start over.
After installing the 64-but Citrix Receiver 12.1 (or any NPAPI plugin for that matter), you need to reconfigure nspluginwrapper:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nspluginwrapper
This triggers the nspluginwrapper installer to look for new NPAPI plugins and link them into the various installed browsers in the correct manner.

Oops, this is actually an answer for this Q: askubuntu.com/questions/204312/citrix-receiver-on-ubuntu-12-10 ... I am unable to post it over there, because it requires site karma (reputation points) that I do not have. Could someone move the above answer to the correct question, so that Kubuntu users may also have their cup of Citrix Receiver? Feb 13, 2013 at 12:58
dpkg-reconfigure
needs to be ran as root otherwise the command is not found
