So you say you just upgraded? This appears like you upgraded to unstable
*quite* some time ago, and then *downgraded* debconf. Otherwise, why is
it installing debconf-tiny here?
If you are not trying to run unstable or testing, you need to change all
occurrances of Debconf::Question to DebConf::Question (note case change) in
/var/lib/debconf/*.db.
If you are trying to upgrade to unstable, manually upgrading debconf
with dpkg will work. You have probably managed to break
preconfiguration, but if you remove /etc/apt/apt.conf, upgrading debconf
with apt should work.
I'm stunned that someone is reporting this problem again. The current
debconf in unstable/testing does not allow this sitation to occur; you
must have somedown upgraded to a much older snapshot, and then
downgraded.
