I saw this post just a few minutes ago and I realized that there may be quite a few people out there that either don’t know or have forgotten that you can usually reset the configuration on ANY package by using one simple command.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package-name-here>

You can omit the “sudo” if you’re already logged in as root. It’s a pretty simple command but it has great power. You can reconfigure any package installed through dpkg (which includes apt-get and synaptic).
