I thought this fixed the problem (although it does not reprompt me for a frontend unless I first 'rm /var/lib/debconf/debconf.db') However, now debconf seems to be horribly broken. After choosing Text as my front end, I am now getting the following errors on apt-get upgrade: stty: standard input: Invalid argument stty: standard input: Invalid argument Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305 Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/FrontEnd/Text.pm line 87, <GEN10> chunk 3.
