Actually, it seems that the issue is that Holger is using a non-interactive install, and that in such a case (in my opinion) dbconfig-common should default to "No" on the question on whether to use dbconfig-common. This is another case of #542381 if you ask me. However, that bug is claimed to be fixed in the version that Holger used. More investigation needed. Thijs
