Hi, Recently on my Sid system, I am having the following trouble (note that I tried since then to reinstall debconf that is also affected by the trouble now):
patrice@kos-moceratops ~> sudo LANG=C apt -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...

Does anyone have an idea or solution? Thanks!
