Oddly enough, this works on my Mythbuntu (gutsy) system at home, but breaks on my Ubuntu (gutsy) system at work. Obviously those two environments are completely different, lending credence to the belief that it's dependant on something local to the system. I see this all the time from inside Update Manager, where it's rather impossible to run commands in the terminal window to find out $TERM, etc... Running debconf-preconfigure from a terminal does seem to work properly, regardless, so I presume it's something to do with having its I/O redirected...?
