I would check that you have perl version 5.12.x installed.
I still recommend running 'apt-get install build-essential' as that may
upgrade other stuff such as make, dpkg, etc. Since you are building
packages yourself you should have build-essential installed. You also
need a multiarch aware version of the packaging tools installed!
If you have python2.6 installed, which is highly likely, then I would
also run 'apt-get upgrade python2.6' which will upgrade even more for you.
You may need to run 'apt-get -f install' after each step above. At the
end you should run 'apt-get upgrade' which will upgrade yet more of the
system.
Cheers
Michael.
