[Bug 1076260] Re: Cannot remove package

2012-12-12 Thread idsfa
I was able to determine that this was caused (in my case) by a mistake
in my SSD optimizations of the filesystem.  Certain parts of the /var
tree were replaced with tmpfs filesystems and thus the contents were
lost upon reboot.  I missed /var/cache/debconf (I expect there is a
whole flamewar that could go here about the appropriateness of
configuration data being stored in /var).

I used the process from this thread on the ubuntu forums to rebuild my
debconf database:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1823695

After this, I was able to perform upgrades again.
