I just tried installing php5 on a friend's fresh server running Etch, and 'apt-get php5' barfed because debconf-loadtemplate wasn't found.
Then I couldn't figure out where to get debconf-loadtemplate from (debconf-utils). Then I couldn't install debconf-utils because php5 wasn't configured. Finally, I figured out that 'apt-get remove' php5, php5-cgi, and apache2-something-or-other would let me get out of this mess. This is not a bug that should be happening, and it all hinges on whether ucf needs debconf-loadtemplate. (By the way, this was ucf version 2.0020.) I'm a Redhat user, and this is my first exposure to Debian; I don't like this sort of error, it turns me off.
