[Bug 88697] Re: dpkg: invalid nice value

[Richard Green]

I keep trying...
  I ran 'apt-get install adept' from a root shell, and it told me that adept was already at the current level.  It then went on to tell me that there were 5 packages not fully installed, and it gave me 5 'setting up...' messages for x11-common, libxau6, libxdmcp6, libxcb1, libxcb-xlib0.
I went back to adept, and attempted a 'full upgrade' which presented 5 install, 205 upgrade.  As it began, I clicked on 'show detail' just before the 'invalid nice value' popped up.

The last lines in the 'show details window are:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104, <GEN7> line 4.
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104, <GEN7> line 9.

hth,
