    Hi,

    a colleague had problems when upgrading using 'apt-get -q -y install ...',
    because the install/upgrade of exim4 tried to ask questions, so the
    automated installation failed.

    How can he avoid any questions from exim4 or any other packages?
    Is it enough to set the debconf priority to critical?
    Would exim4-daemon-light(?) ask less questions?

    Cheers, WB
