I guess it is installed in the same run as dictionaries-common, so is not available in the configure stage for that run. This error should not happen if apt-utils is not to be installed nor if it is already installed when dictionaries-common is configured. > I'll check whether your proposed patch fixes "my" bug, but it may take a > few days. The best workaround is IMHO to make sure that apt-utils is installed before dictionaries-common is configured. Changes in 1.23.6 will only avoid the error, trying harder to set a default even if no debconf info is yet parsed. In systems with many candidates this can lead to a wrong choice. I proposed those minimal changes to have a small diff as candidate for a point release. Better fix goes through use of no-await triggers, as I wrote. I am re-adding education-desktop-lxde affects and tagging this bug report as wheezy. Since fixed version is present, it should be clear that this does not affect jessie. This also does not affect upgrades to jessie. Regards, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
