This bug was fixed in the package debconf - 1.5.48ubuntu1
---------------
debconf (1.5.48ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #1060249). Remaining changes:
- Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons, to avoid breaking
maintainer scripts.
debconf (1.5.48) unstable; urgency=low
* dpkg-reconfigure: Fix incorrect scoping of control_path that broke
handling of multiple packages (closes: #690755, LP: #1076322).
debconf (1.5.47) unstable; urgency=low
[ Manpages translations ]
* German updated.
[ Joey Hess ]
* GTK frontend: Do additional probing in child process to catch cases
where trying to use GTK will cause an otherwise uncatchable crash.
Closes: #690776 Thanks, James Hunt
* debconf-devel.7: Mention that CAPB capabilities are separated with spaces.
Closes: #694626
[ Colin Watson ]
* dpkg-reconfigure: Fix trigger processing to cope properly if some of the
triggered packages use debconf (closes: #686071).
