[Debconf-devel] Bug#307568: debconf: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//)

[Teodor]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.14
Followup-For: Bug #307568


At every package install I get a message from debconf similar with this:

#######################
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Readline.pm line 25, <> line 2.

Successfully applied all changes. You can close the window now.

This only happens on the graphic interface (with Synaptic).

Thanks
