I thought about symlinking confmodule to confmodule.sh, but instead I upgraded debconf by hand, ie - 'apt-get install debconf'. That installed the proper confmodule script, and 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' finished the job without any more trouble. The problem seems to be packages requiring a more recent version of debconf not having a proper versioned dependancy. Frank
