apt-get dist-upgrade error

Did an apt-get dist-upgrade last night and ran into the following problem:


0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 25 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.


Setting up debconf (0.5.01) ...

Any suggestions?
