debconf hosed after cold boot and fsck



  Well, I've really gone and done it now.

  I upgraded pcmcia-cs from unstable and forgot to take the PCMCIA
  card out of the slot before doing so. So, as the warnings said, my
  kernel froze during the upgrade as cardmgr was taken down.

  A cold boot and a manual fsck later, dpkg is rife with errors. Here
  are some sample errors, followed by the files in /lost+found. Any
  suggestions for proceeding would be appreciated.

[root@olgas:531]# dpkg-reconfigure debconf

Description: PCMCIA Card Services for Linux.
 PCMCIA cards are commonly used in laptops to provide expanded
 capabilities, such as modems, increased memory, etc.  Some desktop PCs
 can accept PCMCIA cards as well, although this is rare.
 .
 Card Services for Linux is a complete PCMCIA support package.  It
 includes a set of client drivers for specific cards, and a card
 manager daemon that can respond to card insertion and removal events,
 loading and unloading drivers on demand.  It supports ``hot swapping''
 of PCMCIA cards, so cards can be inserted and ejected at any time.
 .
 The actual kernel modules required for this package are contained in
 the pcmcia-modules-<kernel version> package, where <kernel version> is
 the version of the kernel for which the modules have been compiled.
