[Bug 1599051] Re: package shim-signed 1.16~14.04.1+0.8-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

For reference; I could only get this prompt (see screenshot at
http://imgur.com/z5Uplsz) by installing cdebconf-gtk and libgtk2-perl to
properly enable the GTK frontend for debconf. I suspect there may
otherwise be an issue with that frontend and dealing with db_capb
backup.
