Brother @Aravisian, gkdebconf not working properly. Whenever I try to run any module from within the app/tool an error pop up message says" The configuration script returned an error status" !!!
Please help me.
natun-athiti, can you run the following in terminal
sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Does that give an error?
Same with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall debconf
Does this give any errors?
Or do they help resolve the issue?
I am talking about GkDebconf not the Debconf app,which is running FINE!!!
Natun-athiti... I am going to give you a word of advise: Do not bite the hand that feeds you. As I am working during the day and need to be up at 2am to drive my son into work- I am burning the candle at both ends. This allows me an ability to spend a great deal of my own time on this forum attempting to help others. Sadly, it also means I am often tired - it is 1:36am here.
You have a habit of making posts that appear Angry to posts that are trying to help you.
It is time to make a new habit. Treat those members of this board that donate their time courteously. You are capable of taking a moment when you post to consider NOT trying to sidestep the Word Filter and to NOT react swiftly and angrily.
Can you run the following in terminal
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gkdebconf
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gkdebconf
I am extremely Sorry, If I have hurt your feelings. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THAT. 
Certainly.
Have you been able to run those commands and see the terminal output to determine their status according to dpkg?

Ok, please try

You may also want

Then in terminal, export it:

Notice you are running KDE and wondered if gkdebconf is aimed more at the Gnome desktop? I have never heard of this package until reading your post.
