A common category of packages you can reconfigure are those whose configurations are determined by questions in the package installation script, usually shown via a graphical interface during the package installation process, for example phpmyadmin. It can allow you to retrieve the settings of an installed package, as well as change the current settings of that package as recorded in decconf.
Simply provide the name(s) of package(s) to reconfigure, and it will ask a number of configuration questions, in the same way when the package was initially installed on your system. This tool can actually be used to reconfigure an entire Ubuntu or Debian system installation.
Debconf registers the configuration of all installed packages on your system. It works in conjunction with debconf, the configuration system for Debian packages. It is one of the several tools offered under dpkg – the core package management system on Debian/Ubuntu Linux. Dpkg-reconfigure is a powerful command line tool used to reconfigure an already installed package.
