I ripped out 2*256 megs and replaced them with 2*64 that I had collecting
dust somewhere and tried again: different error this time around but again
while setting up debconf:
Setting up debconf (1.4.30.11) ...
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/Fcntl.pm line 170, <DEBCONF_CONFIG> chunk 3.
debconf: Problem setting up the database defined by
stanza 3 of /etc/debconf/conf.
is not a valid Fcntl macro at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf
DbDriver/File.pm line 34.
dpkg: error processing debonf (--install)
subprocess post-installation script returned
error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
debconf
umount: /target/dev/pts: No such file or directory
umount: /target/dev/shm: No such file or directory
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument
--- so I the memory might not be the culprit here.
time to run some more diagnostics on the drive then.
