--configure debconf
Hi all,
I recently installed a base potato dist, changed my sources.list to
unstable and did a dist-upgrade wich went well. I then tried to apt-get
install xserver-xfree86 (4.0.2) but I can't get it to work. It seems to
die due to a debconf dependancy and debconf will not install. Here is
the output of apt-get install debconf:

dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
debconf
I tried un/re-installing perl-5.6 and perl-5.005 thinking that the
errors implicated to those packages but that didn't help. Anyone have a
helpfull hint?
