Here is the problem. db_get tries to fetch the cfengine2/run_cfservd
debconf template, which seems to return an empty string. Do you have
any of these systems available? And in that case, can you run
debconf-show cfengine2
on of of them, to see if the debconf template 'cfengine2/run_cfservd'
really is empty?
