Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.0.1-2
Severity: normal

Installation of the latest package version

             lirc_0.7.1pre1-1_i386.deb

fails with the following error messages.


      (Reading database ... 349744 files and directories currently installed.)

      Errors were encountered while processing:
      lirc_0.7.1pre1-1_i386.deb


Is this due to an error in the lirc package installation script or an
error in debconf?
