apt-get files problems
Hi! Due to physical disk read errors had to copy /var/spool/apt and
/var/lib/apt files to another disk and, after bad block checking, back.
Apparently something went wrong in the process, perhaps due to file
corruption.
Anyway, now consistently getting the following error messages when doing
apt-get dist-upgrade:
E: Cannot get debconf version. Is debconf installed?
(Reading database ... 0 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libdb1-compat (from .../libdb1-compat_2.1.3-7_i386.deb) ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Suggestions much appreciated.
Greetings,
