I would suspect a broken /var/cache/debconf/config.dat (error code 10 in this context usually means a missing question, and if it isn't just an isolated case it often means the database is corrupt). What version of debconf do you have, and if you set DEBCONF_DEBUG='.*' in the environment what do you see when you try to install one of those packages? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
