Need to get 0B/28.0MB of archives. After unpacking 80.6MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Neither whiptail nor dialog are installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 51, <> line 76.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Preconfiguring packages ... exim4-config.postinst: [WARN] Installed debconf version is broken. Aborting preconfigure.
Here's the problem
Try `dpkg-reconfigure debconf`, try which setting works; Failing that, try `apt-get --reinstall install debconf`
if it doesn't, you'll have to fix this manually I think
Maybe this is not correct, but what I would try in that case: - get a working debconf package: http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debconf - stable http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/debconf - testing http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/debconf - unstable
then if you have it installed,
dpkg --purge debconf (completely removing the current installation of debconf)
dpkg -i debconf*.deb
(Can someone give some backup - especially on that manual way!)
HTH,
Joris
