Looks like this:
What is probably happening is that debconf is being removed, as the version you have installed depends on the old (0.3) version of apt. The real bug, though, is that ~jgg/apt contains an older version (0.5.2) than the latest unstable (0.5.3), a somewhat broken version in fact, and no accompanying debconf. You can, of course, download the sources from unstable and compile them. -- - mdz
