This error occurs, cause debconf simply doesn't know sometimes how it should
upgrade it's database as it seems. following commands may be applied to the
files in /var/lib/debconf to fix that bug:
mv debconf.db debconf-orig.db
sed -e 's/Debian::DebConf::/Debconf::/g' < debconf-orig.db > debconf.db
mv templates.db templates-orig.db
sed -e 's/Debian::DebConf::/Debconf::/g' < templates-orig.db > templates.db
Actually this information was taken from:
http://bugs.debian.org/75240
and originates from bviren@minos.phy.bnl.gov
