[Debconf-devel] Bug#798819: debconf: support for Wayland

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.57
Severity: normal


So I'm running "GNOME on Wayland" and now the Debconf Graphical User
Interface does not show up. This seems to be because of the limitation
Wayland has, as it does not support X11 like Forwarding.

The FAQ on Wayland has some ideas, but I don't think anything is readily
available.
