I imagine that a strace -f of a run of dpkg-reconfigure or any other
debconf command that reproduces the problem would show clearly what it
is.

Most likely is that the file has gone missing on the local system due to
disk corruption, accidental deletion, or a screwed up local install of
perl that's somehow not finding it.
