This is what I get if I do the first part of the documented configuration file for preseed installation:


root@eng-prova:~# debconf-get-selections --installer > preseed.conf
debconf: DbDriver "di_questions": could not open /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat
root@eng-prova:~# cat preseed.conf
root@eng-prova:~# ls -l preseed.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-09-25 13:58 preseed.conf
root@eng-prova:~# ls -l var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat
ls: cannot access var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat: No such file or directory
root@eng-prova:~#I've not done anything special to my system other then installing some extra stuff and keeping it up-to-date.
What's going wrong (apart from the file obviously missing) ?

PS: I'm running on a x86_64 ubuntu 9.04 desktop
