Status in “ucf” package in Debian:

Bug description:
  I upgraded my hardy, but did not succeed. I got the following error
  (sorry, it is in danish):

  ______________________________________________________

  Sætter samba-common (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5) op...
  /usr/bin/ucf: line 181: cannot create temp file for here document: No space left on device
  dpkg: fejl under behandling af samba-common (--configure):
   underproces post-installation script returnerede afslutningsstatus 1
  dpkg: afhængighedsproblemer forhindrer konfiguration af smbclient:

  dpkg: fejl under behandling af smbclient (--configure):

  After some messing around I cheked /usr/bin/ucf. There I found the
  following shit, which I had to comment out to finish my upgrade.

  ____________________________________________________________________________

  if [ "$DEBCONF_ALREADY_RUNNING" ] && [ "$DEBCONF_OK" = NO ]; then
  	# Commented out for now, uncomment after a while to begin nagging
  	# maintainers to fix their scripts.
  	#cat \
  <<END
  *** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
               the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
               script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
               and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
               old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

               Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------

  I become really, really annoyed when someone makes a bug (without
  writing who he or she is, of course) in order to give me others
  troubles in order to make me and others terrorise the maintainer. I
  simply detest being inciting to trouble other people!!!!

  Incidentally, it's a really good way to scare those who don't anything
  about IT from using ubuntu. Yes, make 10 more of these, and we have
  only the nerds left!

  Thus bug should be removed from ucf immediately!!!
