Debconf failed configure
I have managed to break debconf somehow, but I don't how. I don't
remember doing anything stupid. Here's some info (sorry for long
lines):
litku:~$ dpkg -l debconf

I'm running unstable and I have updated my system quite often, until
this problem appeared.
Can you give any hints to fix this or what the problem might be? I can
provide more info if needed.
