console-tools installation error

2001-02-01 Thread Michael Abraham Shulman
Trying to switch from kbd to console-tools (testing distribution), I
get this error when configuring console-tools:

/var/lib/debconf/config.53881: null: command not found
console-tools failed to configure, with exit code 127

Any ideas what's wrong?

Deinstall (dpkg -P kbd) kbd first.

Now when configuring I encounter bug #53091 (a prompt that hangs the
installation script).  I fixed this by installing the version of
console-tools in unstable, rather than testing.  Isn't testing
supposed to be *more* stable than unstable?
