[ubuntu-dev] Bug#712199: gdebi-kde does not show the console when a package asks a question

[Francois Gouget]

Package: gdebi-kde
Version: 0.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

During installation gdebi-kde shows a progress dialog with a button to 'pop up' the console and see the detailed installation messages. However if a package needs to ask a question gdebi-kde does not pop up the console. As a result the user is left wondering why things are so slow until he gets the idea of clicking on the 'Show Details' button... or not.

The reason for this is that the KDEInstallProgressAdapter.conffile() method is not implemented.
So I looked into it and it turns out to be pretty easy to implement. So I'm attaching a patch fixing this issue.

Note that it touches the same general area as the one for bug #712194 and thus will need to be applied after the patch for that bug.
