After performing an apt-get -u upgrade today, I have a broken debconf, which is keeping me from configuring a number of packages. I haven't done an upgrade for about three weeks.
Everything in the upgrade appeared to go normally until it started to install debconf. I get the following error: <snip> Setting up debconf (0.2.80.17) ... Can't locate object method "value" via package "Debconf::Question" at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Config.pm line 76. dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 </snip> Now I've looked and made sure that the Debian perl modules are there, I've checked to see that they are intact and they are. The pass perl checks ok. I've tried replacing with debconf-tiny but cvs and a couple other packages require debconf. Any suggestions? -- Corwin
