I upgraded my system again (The last update was one month ago) and the same error arrived at the perl package.... There is following problem: apt-get wan'ts to install perl, but the dpkg version is too old. I have to install these packages in this order manually: dpkg perl debconf Then I can go on with "apt-get dist-upgrade" apt-get always wan'ts to start with perl. But that doesn't work! -- In the beginning was the word, and the word was content-type: text/plain
