Troubleshooting • Re: debconf errors are impacting all package operations

Hi,

an update from my side - I managed to solve the my issue.

I'm not 100% sure if it was this steps that finally solved the issue, as I tried a lot. but maybe it's worth sharing.
I'm also not sure if Step 1 is really required.
Maybe Step 2 alone, would also work. You may want try that first

Step 1 - I tried to install a later package of debconf (debconf_1.5.86_all)

• curl -LO 'https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main ... 86_all.deb'
• dpkg -i debconf_1.5.86_all.deb
  when I was asked if I want to overwrite my config -> Yes
• apt-get upgrade
  this resulted in an error: debconf_1.5.82 required but debconf_1.5.86 installed.

Step 2

• curl -LO 'https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main ... 82_all.deb'
• dpkg -i debconf_1.5.82_all.deb
• apt-get upgrade
  Things started working afterwards

No guarantee that is working for you; I was a bit desperate after trying many things to get it working:)
But maybe this is of value to somebody.
