Has anyone managed to install the debconf from woody? I've been trying to
install it with no luck. It keeps claiming that it depends on libapt-pkg2.7
which I can't find anywhere. But when I check debconf's dependancies on the
packages.debian.org site, the libapt-pkg2.7 dependancy is nowhere to be
seen.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of debconf:
debconf depends on libapt-pkg2.7; however:

dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And for even more fun:

Note, selecting apt instead of libapt-pkg2.7
Sorry, apt is already the newest version.
You might want to run apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
debconf: Depends: libapt-pkg2.7
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
I tried the 'apt-get -f install' with the same result as the 'apt-get
install debconf' above. Anyone have any suggestions?
