Bug#152612: Error while upgrading from potato to woody: couldnt preconfigure apt
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: critical
Can´t upgrade from potato to woody. apt-get update always stops with
the following error message
Template parse error near "" at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Template.pm
line 102, <TEMPLATES> chunk 3.
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code (29)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
Maybe the following information helps to find out what the Problem is
