Bug Description
I was booting into Ubuntu, using the default option in grub, and was able to enter my password in the login screen, but the displays started flickering a lot, and there were a lot of repeated text messages (it switched into text mode). I finally did a hard reset and tried booting into ubuntu - generic which seemed to work. There was a prompt from apt to update, so I did, and then I got this error message.

Looks like some more debconf breakage:
