[Bug 1696989] Re: package libpam-cgfs 2.0.7-0ubuntu1~17.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Serge Hallyn]

Hi,

thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

This actually appears to be a problem not in libpam-cgfs itself:

Setting up libpam-cgfs (2.0.7-0ubuntu1~17.04.1) ...
Use of uninitialized value $reply in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 66.

I'm going to mark this as affecting debconf, though the error message
looks like a duplicate of a supposedly resolved bug.  Can you please
show the result of


dpkg -l | grep debconf
cat /etc/*-release

so we can check the versions?
