Every time I try to install ANYTHING with apt-get,i get this error

E: Waited for /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true but it wasn't there     

E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true 

I have looked at many forums but none of them seem to have any answer.

Any help would be much appreciated at this time!

(everything must be done via command line, 13.04 server)

Tried Braiam's command, this was the output + command:

sudo sh -c "echo 'DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-pr

econfigure --apt || true";};' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf"
