#235591 — trouble with debconf

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):

patrice@kos-moceratops ~> sudo LANG=C apt -f install

 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!

#235616

I have finally found the source of this trouble.
The absence of /var/lib/cdebconf directory after a bad manipulation. 
And then even trying to reinstall the debconf package did not (re)create this
folder, so any package that rdepends to debconf is falling and also debconf it-
self.
Which package should I have reinstall to get it back?
