I have been having the following problem with debconf in the past week:
root@expresso> apt-get install debconf Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, debconf is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 224 not upgraded. 2 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Setting up debconf (1.1.30) ... Use of uninitialized value in exists at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Cache.pm line 29.

Back to the problem: debconf doesn't update. I have no idea where this comes from neither how to solve it. A hint would be appreciated.
