Package: debconf Version: 1.4.69 Severity: normal
For quite some time now, I have been getting mysterious errors when installing packages via apt and aptitude (but not triggered by dpkg directly). I can't work out what is going on, except that the errors do disappear when I comment out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf. After the bogus output, installation proceeds as normal.
