The workaround was for a different bug, I believe this is more to do with the fact that debconf has been updated and netbase's postinst hasn't. dpkg --purge debconf; dpkg -i netbase*.deb # ought to work, but some other packages already depend on debconf, so that's not necessarily possible. As something of an aside, I really do wonder if we should have packages depending on debconf already (or even for potato). It's approaching having a stable API, but it's not there yet.
