Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.43
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
First, sorry if this bugs is not a grave problem, but since it seems
that debconf can't preconfigure package anymore, it can break
installation of packages which are installed/upgraded with this version
of debconf, and it could be really serious I think. If it's not grave,
please, sorry again and decreas the severity.
I upgraded debconf today, then I upgraded some other packages, but
preconfiguring fails with this error :
String found where operator expected at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line
96, near "die sprintf(gettext(""
(Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 94)
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
Bareword found where operator expected at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure
line 96, near "die sprintf(gettext("debconf"
(Do you need to predeclare die?)
Unquoted string "debconf" may clash with future reserved word at
/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line 96.

I hope it helps, please let me know if you need more information.
