No, it doesn't.  This bug is fixed in base-config 2.71, available from
incoming.debian.org.

today at around 06h am (CET), I run the usual update/upgrade cycle on
my latop.

there, the following message appeared:

grave bugs of base-config (2.69 -> 2.70) <done>
 #323863 - base-config: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `db_fset'
Summary:
 base-config(1 bug)

Now, run the same update/upgrade cycle and get the same message on
another box.

But I see:  the "done" message appears alread for 2.69 -> to 2.70
although the bug has been fixed obviously only in 2.71.

Hence, my reporting was caused by the message already for 2.69 ->
2.70 although it's been fixed for 2.70 -> 2.71.

So, when base-config 2.71 will have made its way from
incoming.debian.org to the repository for common update/upgrade, the
bug will disappear -- most presumably.

Thanks!

wbr,
Lukas
