[Bug 885442] Re: Unable to dump debconf database

[jdfalk]

I am using Ubuntu Server 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-server x86_64) and it is working for me.
$sudo debconf-get-selections --installer > file.preseed
$

However when I try it on a desktop version:
$ sudo debconf-get-selections --installer > file.preseed
debconf: DbDriver "di_questions": could not open /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat
