Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.69
Severity: normal


For quite some time now, I have been getting mysterious errors when
installing packages via apt and aptitude (but not triggered by dpkg
directly).  I can't work out what is going on, except that the errors
do disappear when I comment out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf.  After
the bogus output, installation proceeds as normal.  Google is not
telling me anything...

Dito (I have actually never seen it), so closing as unreproducible (this
time for real) – perhaps this also helps in stopping spam being
collected here…
