thanks

Hi Masato,

I've prepared an NMU for this issue, which drops the unneeded reference to
debconf in the vflib2 postinst.  The patch is attached; the NMU will be
uploaded shortly.

Thanks,

Bug#359836: vflib2: Fails to install without debconf installed

[Daniel Schepler]

Package: vflib2
Version: 2.25.1-18.1
Severity: serious

From my pbuilder build log for dvi2ps:

...
Setting up vflib2 (2.25.1-18.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/vflib2.postinst: line 8: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: No 
such file or directory
dpkg: error processing vflib2 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of vflib2-dev:
 vflib2-dev depends on vflib2 (= 2.25.1-18.1); however:
  Package vflib2 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing vflib2-dev (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 vflib2
 vflib2-dev
E: Unrecoverable error installing build-dependencies.
E: pbuilder-satisfydepends failed.

You need to either add a Depends on debconf, or remove the debconf code
if it's not actually needed (which appears to be the case from a quick look
at the postinst script).
