Greetings everyone. I'm having a problem trying to install debconf.
I just did a full upgrade to potato this evening. I then tried to
install a new package (everybuddy) that relied on debconf. When
apt-get went to install debconf I got the error:
HAL9000:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i
I am getting almost exactly the same error, except mine is as follows:
tsuess:~# apt-get -f dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
28 packages not fully

It's an easy fix to fix it, in the Makefile of the source, one line
has bin where it should say sbin
But in the debconf_0.2.65_all.deb there is a *file* named /user/sbin - it's
a shell script to be precise. And what the system is

Yes, the /usr/sbin file is one of two that should actually be in
/usr/sbin, by changing the line in the Makefile, it creates the
directory and when creating the deb file, places in it two files,
dpkg-preconfig and dpkg-reconfigure.
debconf (0.2.66) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo that was making a sbin file

I gather the offending debconf package has now been fixed, however, for
the future if you delete the file from /var/cache/apt/archives, come
off-line and use the -m option to apt-get, it will install and configure
the remaining packages. -m effectively means 'ignore any packges not
available'.
