For the record, I suggest something like this for recovery:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
<select some frontend other than readline>
dpkg --configure -a # recover from failed configurations
apt-get install --reinstall sash # recover from even worse corruption
apt-get -t unstable install libterm-readline-gnu-perl # fix basic problem
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
<select readline frontend again>
