reassign 338587 debconf thanks Hi Debconf people, here's a grave bug filed against tex-common which must in fact be debconf's fault:

Which version of debconf do you have? Eric has debconf-2.0 installed (version 1.4.59). $ findpkg Dialog.pm | grep debconf usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm admin/debconf usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm admin/debconf usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm admin/debconf these are the three distributions (stable, testing, unstable). > My version contains: > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Select.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Password.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Multiselect.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Note.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Progress.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Boolean.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/String.pm > debconf: /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Text.pm > > I would say your debconf is broken. Don't you have Dialog.pm installed? I have (sid chroot): $ dpkg -L debconf | grep Dialog /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/String.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Text.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Note.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Multiselect.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Boolean.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Select.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Password.pm /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Dialog/Progress.pm I'm a bit confused about the versions we have - there's debconf, debconf-2.0 (but that seems to be a virtual package), and cdebconf (which is clearly not the issue here).
