All your other report have the same root cause. I'm marking them as duplicates.

Affecting to debconf. This is likely a dup of bug 387112

And please avoid submitting so many reports for the same issue, it creates needless work.

This is fixed karmic

debconf (1.5.27ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Remove unused 'use I18N::Langinfo' from Debconf::Element::Gnome
      (LP: #387112).
