Abologies to Yann since I cc'ed 2 bugs with this, but I think it should be in
the discussion of both.
While this bug *is* resolved in 1999.08.29-9 for me the prerm script in
1999.08.29-8 (the one that actually broke on my machine) fails, so the new one
does not get installed. In my case, the solution was to obtain the actual deb
(should be in /var/cache/apt/archives/console-data_1999.08.29-9_all.deb if apt
just failed) and dpkg -i --force confnew console-data_1999.08.29-9.deb. That
made the install succeed. I don't know if there is any way to make this
automatically use the new scripts, but it would help.
