[Bug 792414] Re: package libpam0g 1.1.2-2ubuntu8.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Steve Langasek]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.

The error in the upgrade log is:

Preparing to replace libpam0g 1.1.2-2ubuntu8 (using .../libpam0g_1.1.2-2ubuntu8.3_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libpam0g ...
Setting up libpam0g (1.1.2-2ubuntu8.3) ...
debconf: DbDriver "templatedb": could not open /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat
dpkg: error processing libpam0g (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Do you know why /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat is missing from your
system?
