The base problem is a broken statoverride file, gnokii probably registers an entry and doesn't clean it up properly on removal.
To the submitter, you can drop lines with "gnokii" in /var/lib/dpkg/statoverrides and your problem should be gone. Reassigning properly. ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => gnokii (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737204 Title: package debconf 1.5.28ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package debconf is already installed and configured -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
