FYI, I found a case that 'seems' to be related on my system:
$ grep-status -P deity -sPackage,Depends,Provides
Package: deity
Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.1, libc6 (>= 2.2.2-2),
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, deity-curses | deityui
Provides: apt-find

Package: deity-gtk
Depends: deity, libc6 (>= 2.2.2-2), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>=
1.2.10-1), xlibs (>= 4.0.1-11)
Provides: deityui

dpkg --configure deity
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of deity:
deity depends on deity-curses | deityui; however:
Package deity-curses is not installed.
Package deityui is not installed.
Package deity-gtk which provides deityui is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing deity (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
deity

dpkg --configure deity-gtk
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of deity-gtk:
deity-gtk depends on deity; however:
Package deity is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing deity-gtk (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
deity-gtk

So, I hope this helps.
