It's not obvious what the problem is, I know. Bear > with me. okay okay I get it. you can't reconfigure debconf because reconfigure wants to use KDE... well per man debconf, there is more info in debconf(7) part of debconf-doc. apt-get install debconf-doc; man 7 debconf; found this: passing --frontend= to dpkg-reconfigure will specify the frontend to use. so try the options are dialog, readline, etc etc. sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf --frontend=dialog should do the trick. I gotta say that's a really interesting pickle you got into there, but I'm ecstatic that debian thought of a way out of it...
