I tested this locally just to see if I could get past the configure
failure, and the fix will probably need to go one step further with
either "|| :" / "|| true" or an explicit "if ! db_unregister ...; then
# do something about it; fi"

After changing to the following, I was successful in completing the
configure of x11-common:

Bug#845398: x11-common: Can't configure

2016-11-22 Thread Samuel Thibault 
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+17
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

x11-common can't be installed any more now that x11-common.postinst has
set -e:

Setting up x11-common (1:7.7+17) ...
dpkg: error processing package x11-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 20
Errors were encountered while processing:
 x11-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is because postinst calls

db_purge x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users
db_purge x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users

According to debconf-devel(7), the PURGE command doesn't take any
parameter, it is not meant to remove just one entry.

I guess what was meant was rather

db_unregister x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users
db_unregister x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users

to remove those old entries.

Samuel
