The reason for this seams to be that pdns-server is calling db_stop before calling ucf. Thus when ucf tries to contact debconf, it gets no answer. (as it just calls confmodule which does not restart debconf as all the environment variables are already there). I don't know whether this is a bug in debconf (for db_stop not clearing what confmodule looks at for determining what whether to start debconf) in ucf (for not working around that or for using debconf) and/or (most likely) in pdns-server (for calling db_stop before calling ucf). > When I'm downgrading to ucf 3.004 from > http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/12/01/debian/pool/main/u/ucf/ucf_3.004_all.deb > it just works fine in the postinst script as well, > as it did before. The reason the old version works seems to be that that is using debconf-loadtemplate instead of dh_x_loadtemplate, thus not noticing debconf is not responding in this case. If that analysis is true, then even with the old ucf pdns-server's postinst should hang when trying to ask a question, i.e. if the file changed. Thus I'm suggesting to reassign this to pdns-server.
