Hi,

Recently on my Sid system, I am having the following trouble (note
that I tried since then to reinstall debconf that is also affected by
the trouble now):

dpkg: error processing package debconf (--configure):
 installed debconf package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 debconf
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It is not clear what started this situation but perhaps it may be due
to my mistake in the installation of cdebconf-gtk a couple of days ago
and after that its purge (both cdebconf-gtk and cdebconf).
Does anyone have an idea or solution?

Thanks!
