Re: Bug#106370: base: exim won't deinstall without perl-modules (debconf dies)



I've seen similar problems with
libterm-readline-perl-perl/libterm-readline-gnu-perl missing from the
system. if I select text as my default mode for debconf and these are
missing it then tries to fall back to slang, and can't fine
libterm-stool-perl, and so on. Maybe this is a dependency bug against
debconf.
