It's /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Cache.pm, or hs has a very wacked
system.
It appears that he has a corrupted debconf database. Send me a tarball
of /var/cache/debconf so I can do a post-mortem, then delete
/var/cache/debconf/*.dat, and all whould be well.
Have you experienced any system crashes, hangs, or disk failures
recently, while in the middle of installing something or using debconf?
This is probably fixed in unstable, but since nobody has ever found a
way to reproduce the problem, it's hard to be sure.
