Bug#78740: Severe apt/debconf/dpkg problem
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Package: debconf
Version: 0.5.31
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.7.2
When I invoke `apt-get upgrade' or `dselect [i]nstall' the
preconfiguring hangs. The message printed is:
preconfiguring packages ..
/var/lib/debconf/config.273853: [: -eq: unary operator expected
I am using Debian GNU/Linux woody, kernel 2.2.18-ide
and libc6 2.2-4.
Please help,
Cheers,
Paul.
