Sorry, I should have posted this right after I figured it out. A couple
of weeks ago, I started going through things in a little more detail.

First error: Can't locate Debconf/Db.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 6.

I checked the locations listed (/etc/perl for instance), and I couldn't
find a Debconf/Db.pm folder/file. After doing a complete search of the
drive, I found the file and created a sym-link to it in the
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 folder. I attempted to re-install the faulty
package, and it moved on to another error on the next line. At least it
made progress, but it led to me doubt a whole list of packages.

Through trial and error, I found my system to essentially have a faulty
debconf package. I downloaded the current package from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/debconf and tried to re-install. This
time, everything went well.

I wound up using dpkg due to synaptic and apt-get insisting that I fix
my broken packages first.

Again, sorry I didn't post right after I figured it out.
