Hi Colin, Thanks for the info. That seems to have been the problem indeed. I wasn't able to downgrade to a prior version of debconf (it was complaining about some perl problems). So, I upgraded to the newest unstable version of debconf, and all is working well now. Perhaps I have just pushed off some problems until later, but I will cross that road when I get there.
Thanks!
