First I think that should be 'debconf' not 'devconf', right?
My guess is that debconf is configured to try to ask you questions
using a sort of 'ask-a-question-in-kde' program, which because you're
either not running the upgrade under X11+KDE or because you don't
have X11 or KDE installed, is failing.
Try running the command:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
and when prompted for how questions should be asked, select 'Dialog'.
At the second question about priorities of displayed messages, just
leave it at the current setting.
Then try installing a new package and see what happens.
(Of course, make sure that 'dialog' is installed first :-)
