[Bug 1023096] [NEW] package debconf 1.5.42ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: underprocessen installerade post-installation-skript gav felkod 255

[Christopher Forster]

Public bug reported:

Hi, I tried to reinstall debconf before (in Swedish):
"E: debconf: underprocessen installerade post-installation-skript gav felkod 255
E: foomatic-filters: beroendeproblem - lämnar okonfigurerad"... dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.
