Strange thing is, I don't see how postfix would depend on a specific
debconf version -- it's not due to its Depends, but a hidden dep could
exist. E.g. /var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.config say:
use Debconf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all);
and this should work fine with debconf 0.2.80.17, because
/usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm should be found since
/usr/lib/perl5 is in your @INC. Does
perl -MDebconf::Client::ConfModule -e42
work for you (shows no errors)? What debconf version do you have, now?
