One reason that this can happen is that debconf allows multiple owners for a question, and will not forget the question has been seen until all owners go away. Purging the package removes one owner, but the other owner keeps the question in the db. If you've run the package's config script by hand, it probably has "unknown" set as the owner too. You could verify this by using debconf-get-selections or looking at the database by hand. This extra owner can be removed: echo PURGE | debconf-communicate unknown > > My guess is that there is a problem with file descriptor 12, how can I > > find out what is this descriptor supposed to be? This file descriptor is opened by debconf to read the result value from whiptail and is unlikely to be related to whatever problem you were seeing. -- see shy jo
