This is also bug #87641 (with 37 duplicates) for which Debian have fixed
debconf, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413509
Not sure how to handle this (two different bug numbers for same problem
with many duplicates and different fix).

* debian/xserver-xorg.config.in: Improve expr return code handling in
validate_nice_value (the right way this time); don't use run function

I think that the -eq 1 change that Timo made to the expr call was in
fact correct. As far as I can tell from the subsequent bug reports, it
wasn't that it broke it completely, it merely had no obvious effect due
to the more serious bug in db_input return code handling.

Ah, Timo, the reason why it broke is that you used '-ne 1' rather than
'-eq 1' by mistake! The patch I'll attach in a moment incorporates my
previous fix and does this properly.

I don't see an obvious need to fiddle with the expr calls here. They may
be ugly, but I don't think they're what's failing.

I have this problem, the 'debconf nice' error occurred for other
packages, but it was x11-common loop that halted adept update.
I installed via cli (sudo apt-get upgrade) as per
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285853&page=2 and it seemed to
work.

My earlier patch (in this thread), replaces the contents of
validate_nice_value() function with a single line:
test "$1" -ge -20 -a "$1" -le 19 2> /dev/null
The patch I submitted was against the broken version (7.2.0ubuntu4 with
"$? -ne 1"), but the same idea works with the not-so-broken one.

I would really appreciate if someone could test a real package with some
of the proposals here, and upgrade it with adept/apt/.. Yes, it's not
easy, but we've been bitten by this once and I don't feel like testing
with main again :)

Just this seems enough to make both dpkg-reconfigure -plow and -pmedium to work
