collie:/# find -name "*confmodule*"
./media/card/packages/usr/share/debconf/confmodule.sh
./media/card/packages/usr/share/debconf/confmodule
and put it in to the path.
collie:/# PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/QtPalmtop/bin:/sbin:/media/car
/packages/usr/sbin:/media/card/packages/usr/share/debconf
but still no go.
