acidbase failed to install

[Joe]

Binary package hint: acidbase

Here is the info I captured:
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up acidbase (1.3.9-2) ...
dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/acidbase.conf
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
             the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
             script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
             and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
             old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!

             Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.
