[Debconf-devel] Bug#1121978: debconf: Perl warning "Use of uninitialized value $item" while using tasksel

[Michael P. Soulier]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.91
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: msoulier at digitaltorque.ca

Dear Maintainer,

I was using tasksel, and selected KDE/Plasma, and hit enter.
While running, this appeared on the screen:
usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 87, <GEN0> line 6766.                                │
 └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Cache.pm line 41, <GEN0> line 6766.
                                                                                Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Cache.pm line 41, <GEN0> line 6766

I thought you would want to know.
