I'm currently working on an implementation that allows firebird to be installed on the `travis-ci` service. One of the requirements is that the service isn't started when the vm is booted, however it should be possible to start the service when it is needed. Now I'm running agains a problem where it appears that you must run
`sudo dpkg-configure firebird2.5-super`
in order to start the service. However as the installation and starting of all services is done automatically there isn't a way for the user to answer the questions manually. Now is my question is there a way to start the firebird service without calling `dpkg-reconfigure`?
I've tried pre-seeding the firebird configuration but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
