Public bug reported:

Due to strange terminal output after latest debconf (1.5.66) upgrade (
lp:1752394 ) i have installed debconf-utils to run 'debconf-get-
selections' and 'debconf-set-selections', but:

oem@ubuntu:~$ debconf-set-selections
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open 
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied

oem@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec  1 18:35 /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat

So the configuration is badly set. This also have been reported some times ago 
(precise) lp:959364
but nobody care on the canonical side.
