debconf: unable to initialize frontend:

  • 772

I'm trying to (unsuccessully) correct the timezone on my system:

root@102c5d7bfc0d:/# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: 
debconf: (Can't locate Debconf/FrontEnd/.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Debconf::FrontEnd:: module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 34) line 2.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive

Current default time zone: 'Etc/UTC'
Local time is now:      Sun Jun 15 10:15:52 UTC 2014.
Universal Time is now:  Sun Jun 15 10:15:52 UTC 2014.

How can I get dpkg-reconfigure to interactively ask me for my time zone?

dpkg

    Change your shell like this, then re-run the command:

    sudo su -
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
