I'm getting the same bug on two different machines that I administrate. If I do a set -x and set -v on the postinst script I get this output: --begin output-- Setting up xserver-xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-2) ... + set -v # source debconf library . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule #!/bin/sh # This is a shell library to interface to the Debian configration management # system. ############################################################################### # Initialization. # Check to see if a FrontEnd is running. if [ ! "$DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND" ]; then # Ok, this is pretty crazy. Since there is no FrontEnd, this # program execs a FrontEnd. It will then run a new copy of $0 that # can talk to it. exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend $0 "$@" fi ++ '[' '!' '' ']' ++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst configure 4.3.0.dfsg.1-2 dpkg: error processing xserver-xfree86 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xfree86 --end output-- It apears that it is actually /usr/share/debconf/fronted that is exiting with status 127... unfortuanately I know next to nothing about perl so can't really debug the script. If anyone can tell me what flags to give it to get output, I would be happy to do so. John
