[Webapps-common-packages] Bug#419278: Installation of bugzilla fails

[Oyvind Harboe]

Package: bugzilla
Version: 2.22.1-2
Severity: important


I can't get rid of the error message below, even if I ask for configuration without
without dbconfig-common.

I've tried to purge dbconfig-common and bugzilla and wipe out all traces
in /etc of bugzilla and then retry, without success. Unable to find any
hints on the net.
