I can't tell if you have a broken install, I don't know if dpkg &
debconf are part of base, but you need these packages. You can use
'apt-cache showpkg dpkg/debconf' to see if they have been downloaded .
'apt-get check' will check for broken depends on your system. 'apt-get
- -f install' will install missing packages ,or dselect gives you a nice
inteface to pick & choose packages,or check to see if somethings
istalled, or not.
