Why are you doing that? There's no debconf here... And if you
installed -pdfimport correctly before anyway, this will just cause
in a bogusity:

I got the error during an apt-get upgrade, I posted it with dpkg-reconfigure so it would be a bit more clear what part of the installation caused it.

On the other hand, with sudo -i, the error disappears. Note that my HOME
is on a NFS partition.

And do you have some "interesting" config or kernel stuff like grsecurity
or selinux?

I have this basic kernel: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 (looks like I should upgrade to -2). libselinux1 is installed (everything depends on it now), and the -dev package, but no other package matching *selinux* or *grsec*. I don't think I have anything you would consider "interesting", or if I do it was done automatically by some package dependency.

Eh, Sure. A stable with testing/sids base-files. And a stable with OOo 3.1.0-5?! Ever heard of backports?

You of course broke your syetem completely, as you got loads of dependencies installed from unstable, including libc6...

$ sudo apt-get -t testing upgrade

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

My libc6 is the one from testing. I use -t testing all the time (except usually during a few months after a new stable release), and very seldom get anything from unstable (just a few selected packages to work around a grave bug that is already fixed there, once in a while). I keep the kernel from stable however, because I don't have physical access to the machine and want to minimize the risks.
