IMHO the dbconfig setup in pnopaste looks fine and is simple. Is this maybe
a problem with dbconfig itself?
There could be of course, but I strongly doubt it: pnopaste is the only
package with this failure pattern
Yeah, I'm not convinced that this is a dbconfig-common bug.
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/dbconfig-common/ch-develguide.html#s-depends
suggests that pnopaste's dependencies aren't quite right, and this patch
seems to fix it:
diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control
index fdc9644..d310b5a 100644
--- a/debian/control
+++ b/debian/control
@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ Package: pnopaste

(This matches the setting of dbc_dbtypes in debian/pnopaste.config.
There might be other possible fixes involving setting some more dbc_*
variables, but this seemed like the simplest approach.)
