To add to this, when upgrading today the installation paused when it was almost
finished. I had to open the console to see that there was a console dialog to
get the screen resolutions configured (the same dialog when setting up Ubuntu).
I checked the status after installation and found this:

setting up popularity-contest (1.2ubuntu3) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (unable to load Gnome -- is libgnome2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog

The same debconf message also appeared for these two:

setting up xserver-common (6.8.1-1ubuntu16) ...
setting up xserver-xorg (6.8.1-1ubuntu16) ...

Awe, I missed the popularity contest dialog... haha. Well I only had one dialog
(for the screen resolution), that might have been right. But if it can't find
libgnome2-perl then why isn't it installed beforehand?
