Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba-common

on update to jaunty, configuration questions are asked in curses dialog inside the terminal-window of the update manager.

But debconf is configured to use kde, and questions for other packages actually have been asked with kde dialogs

Do you remember what kind of questions ?
Could you provide relevant /var/log/apt/* and /var/log/dist-upgrade/* logs ?

the question asked in the terminal window was "do you want to keep your smb.conf or install the one provided in the package"

below are some excerpts from /var/log/dist-upgrade/term.log (which is in German, but you will identify what happens)

for other packages where the questions were asked correctly in a kde debconf window, the questions also appear in the term.log but in a different format. As an example I show the output for dnsmasq at the bottom
