Tried, but same result as before - no changes written to config.dat
Followed your other suggestion and deleted the corrupted .dat files. Ran
apt-get and all is good again.
Thanks for the help

No .db files under this directory, only .dat - is this what you need to
see? They are quite big files so I will send them to you off list.

Try running /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl
I'd also like a copy of your /var/cache/debconf/*.db first.

Hi All,
I am a newbie to Debian, but so far I am impressed with the stability
and the tools available for upgrade / maintenance (apt, dpkg, dselect
etc). While doing a weekly upgrade a couple of days ago I got error
messages while using "apt-get upgrade"
There are 13 packages waiting for upgrade,

Upgrade debconf. The version currently in testing should work.

I think it is wiser to run: apt-get update && apt-get -fuy dist-upgrade
Upgrading will only be done when updating was succesfull

After doing my regular apt-get update;apt-get -fuy dist-upgrade against
testing, I've managed to completely munge up my perl installation. When apt
gets to updating Debconf, I get the following error:

After performing an apt-get -u upgrade today, I have a broken debconf, which
is keeping me from configuring a number of packages. I haven't done an upgrade
for about three weeks.
Everything in the upgrade appeared to go normally until it started to install
debconf. I get the following

You can trying making use that /usr/bin/perl points to some version of

No, it's quite simple. In unstable there are two packages:
perl-base
perl
Notice there are no longer versions or any of

Hi,
In a recent attempt to install the Glide3 libraries from unstable, I
recently broke my debconf. Apparently, I tried this during the Perl 5.6
package upheaval, which the new debconf relied on, and libglide3 relied on
that.
Currently, I am just looking to return to a working debconf since
