orion:xracer$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up debconf (0.2.80.17) ...
Can't locate object method "value" via package "Debconf::Question" at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Config.pm line 76.
dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
 debconf
orion:xracer$ 

The same error while setting up debconf. Any relation?
