This is really a report. > If it happens during the dselect selection process, that would be a bug on dselect (reportbug dselect), if it happens after you've selected update, that would be apt-get, but if it happens when apt-get says it's running the setup for gom-ct, that would be a bug on gom-ct. Which is probably the most likely, include some more details and reportbug gom-ct if you haven't used reportbug yet, and you're not familiar with elm, you should first, as root, update-alternatives --config editor and choose nano or ae.
