this works

sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/etcinsvk.postinst
find the line db_get debian-edu-config/etc-in-svk
add || true after the line
db_get debian-edu-config/etc-in-svk || true
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update

update of etc-in-svk now is db_get etcinsvk/enabled

:)

This problem showed up as Debian bug #492444. Added the Debian bug to this report.
The workaround in comment #2 (permalink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/etcinsvk/+bug/316929/comments/2 ) of bug #316929 was confirmed by the upstream maintainer as the preferred workaround until the fix is released.
A fix was released in version 1.1 (changelog at http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/e/etcinsvk/etcinsvk_1.1/changelog ), which is included with Jaunty, so marking 'Fix Committed'

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Marking as 'Fix Released' since it's fixed since 1.1 in Jaunty
