Hi Colin, Thanks for responding.

Please see below. The logging starts with uninstalling cacti (which was installed before, although without db, but that doesn't change the behavior). Then dbconfig-common is purged. Then dbconfig-common is installed and finally cacti again. I hope this helps to find the issue. The issue fails with: debconf (developer): <-- REGISTER dbconfig-common/database-type cacti/database-type debconf (developer): --> 10 No such template, "dbconfig-common/database-type" The reason why dbconfig-common doesn't fail completely here is that in the configure phase of cacti it allow for itself to not be configured. Therefor, under those circumstances, this is postponed to the postinst phase. (Mostly this is not needed).
