Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.42
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

from time to time i'm getting this message:

-----------
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
'/usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
-----------

when updating my system with synaptic. I'm running the LXDE desktop and
the package libgnome2-perl is installed.

When i'm reconfigure the debconf package the Gnome debconf frontend is
shown and i'm not getting the message above. Are there any missing
dependencies in the debconf package which aren't installed because i'm
using LXDE?

Thanks
