This is a debconf tepmlate in some package that probably has two blank lines where potato's version of debconf only expects to see one. The debconf in woody is much more forgiving of this problem, and if you upgrade to it first, the problem will probably go away. However, if you could first help me find out what package has this problem so that I can arrange to get it fixed, maybe the next person won't have this problem. Could you 'strace -o log -f dist-upgrade', reproduce the problem, gzip the log and send it to me? Thanks. -- see shy jo
