I am using the following commands to install phpmyadmin and the install is getting interrupted...

debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/debconfig-install boolean true"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/admin-user string root"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/admin-pass password root"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/app-pass password root"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/app-password-confirm password root"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/reconfigure-websever multiselect apache2"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/database-type select mysql"
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/setup-password password root" 

However when I am using the following I found online it's installing perfectly fine...

debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/reconfigure-webserver multiselect apache2"  
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/dbconfig-install boolean true"  
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/admin-user string root"  
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/admin-pass password root"  
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/mysql/app-pass password root"  
debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/app-password-confirm password root"

I am interested to find out what I am doing wrong in the first example to make the automated install fail, and how I can find out what debconf-set-selections are required for other software installations? I know I can find out all the selections for a specific package by doing

sudo debconf-get-selections | grep phpmyadmin

However that does not show me only the required ones to achieve an automated installation.

In the first line of your commands you have an extra "e" in the dbconfig-install command:

debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/debconfig-install boolean true"

Should be:

debconf-set-selections <<< "phpmyadmin phpmyadmin/dbconfig-install boolean true"

Hope this helps.
