I just tried a dist-upgrade (and also did so around a week ago) from lenny to
squeeze and it suceeded.

We discussed it a bit on IRC and found nothing which can cause this:

  - procps and debconf were both unpacked and configured before this package
    (openoffice.org-emailmerge depends on them, as well as on python)

  - there's no info in this output what exactly went wrong and sh -x could
    not be given as a second attempt already worked for Kurt

  - debconf works and shows stuff too so it cannot be that it's set
    to something which prohibits showing the error if OOo was running when
    the dist-upgrade happens,

  - it might be unopkg, but unopkg doesn't seem to be ran at all...
    (and now it's too late anyway to check the extension info in OOo)

Though, a few weeks ago I *did* see this too but I didn't see this
on later tries either...

-> unreproducible, moreinfo

Rene
