About a week ago I did an apt-get upgrade and on setting up debconf I got an error. Here is the output of dpkg --configure debconf: Setting up debconf (1.0.17) ...
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome debconf: (DISPLAY problem?) debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 35.

I recieved simular errors when configuring webmin-ssl, which I have sinced removed. Thanks, Ian Monroe http://mlug.missouri.edu/~eean/
