Is `dpkg-reconfigure --all` still available in 16.04?
Not equivalent, but probably what you are looking for if you want to be sure, everything is at least somehow configured:
dpkg --configure -a
You can try this script:
(
for i in `dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | awk '{print $2}'`; do
echo $i; sudo dpkg-reconfigure $i;
done
) 2>&1 | tee dpkg-reconfigure.log
It reconfigures all installed packages and saves the log to dpkg-reconfigure.log
file.
No, dpkg-reconfigure
on 16.04 (but also on 15.10) does not have the option --all
any more, although it was present in 14.04 (not sure about 14.10).
You could have verified that yourself by checking the command's manpage:
man dpkg-reconfigure
On a 16.04 (or 15.10) system, this manual page will not list an --all
argument, while on 14.04 one is present.
If you don't have those systems at hand, just read the online manpages: 16.04 - 15.10 - 14.04
