Public bug reported: someone already created bug 1365939 over on the man-db package but is it possible that this bug is actually should be on the debconf package instead?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/1365939 this would be on the precise branch since both myself and the original bug reporter were upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04.1 when we hit the problem. i've currently got debconf 1.5.42ubuntu1 ** Affects: debconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371640 Title: frontend hangs after dpkg failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1371640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
