[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#451124: linux-sound-base: postinst error when using cdebconf as debconf-2.0 choice

[Tom Parker]

Package: linux-sound-base
Version: 1.0.15-2
Severity: normal

After replacing debconf with cdebconf, I got the following:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-sound-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up linux-sound-base (1.0.15-2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-sound-base.postinst: line 5: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing linux-sound-base (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

According to linux-sound-base's dependancy list, it should be happy with
debconf-2.0 alternates (i.e cdebconf) but this doesn't appear to be the
case.
