Hm?

"An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
dpkg-preconfigure. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.


Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a
missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed
to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.)"

Even if I will build jack from svn, at the moment I'll start with
testing Debian stable by audio apps provided by the repositories.

IMO there's no need to force a user to use D-Bus, when he needs jackd,
but ok, might be needed for those who will use session managers? D-Bus
is installed by default, so what's missing?

As far as I remember, it's the first time, that I'm unable to install
jackd from repositories after a clean install, for what distro ever.

I installed Debian stable just by using CD-1. Could it be related to
this?
