Installation of the latest package version

             lirc_0.7.1pre1-1_i386.deb

fails with the following error messages.


      (Reading database ... 349744 files and directories currently installed.)

      Errors were encountered while processing:
      lirc_0.7.1pre1-1_i386.deb


Is this due to an error in the lirc package installation script or an
error in debconf?

Subject: Bug#292001: Bug is debconf not lirc package

Apologies for the misattributed bug report.

This problem is due to a bug in debconf and not the lirc package.

Moving /etc/debconf.conf out of the way allowed the latest lirc
package to be installed without error.

Please close this bug.
