Broken Debconf?
Hi All,
I am a newbie to Debian, but so far I am impressed with the stability
and the tools available for upgrade / maintenance (apt, dpkg, dselect
etc). While doing a weekly upgrade a couple of days ago I got error
messages while using "apt-get upgrade"
There are 13 packages waiting for upgrade, but apt stops after these
error messages:
