The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
console-common Basic infrastructure for text console configuration
nbjhh1-laptop:/# dpkg --yet-to-unpack
nbjhh1-laptop:/#
Try: apt-get install -t testing --fix-broken console-common
apt-get install -t testing --fix-broken console-common

Sorry, console-common is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 80 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Setting up console-common (0.7.25) ...
Looking for keymap to install:
no
dpkg: error processing console-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
console-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
(Tanks for your effort. I must be pretty hopeless..)
dpkg -p console-common
shows it pre-depends on debconf.
dpkg -p debconf
shows it depends on a bunch of other things.
I'd either use dselect to install debconf from testing (with all its
suggests/recommends), or:
apt-get update
apt-get install -t testing <all the following packages>
Depends: debconf-i18n | debconf-english
Pre-Depends: perl-base (>= 5.6.1-4)
Recommends: apt-utils (>= 0.5.1)
