Because dselect doesn't do as good of a job as apt at ordering the installation of packages, sometimes you'll get a package installed prior to the one it needs configured before it can be configured (go [con]figure!). Just go through the configure phase 3 or 4 or 8 times and everything should eventually settle out.
