As noted above, the problem cam when I executed sudo apt-get install wine
I believe the problem was related to the following: At one point, a grey window came up, indicating that there was microsoft code or some such thing, and requiring that I click on a radio button indicating "Yes". I was unable to click on the radio button; I tried. So I killed the process. The problem "debconf, etc." .. has now occurred, every time new software is attempted to be installed. But the software seems to work fine. I've just installed a new linux kernel. My guess is, that I should reboot. Had the "debconf error" not occurred, I believe that that would have been the next step requested by the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088731 Title: sudo apt-get install wine produced an error, exit code 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1088731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
