I just install mediawiki on a newly installed machine and met just like what Alejandro reported.
I extracted the deb and tried to run the script, it returns 1 and print nothing. the script cannot go through this line: . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule and when I try to run this script: # sh /usr/share/debconf/confmodule Can't exec "/usr/share/debconf/confmodule": Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.8/IPC/Open3.pm line 168. open2: exec of /usr/share/debconf/confmodule failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 58 -- Wang Xu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
