for some time now, whenever i apt-get install anything, dpkg has been
trying to configure libapache-mod-perl, and failing. it'll present me
with the config screen:
Setting up libapache-mod-perl (1.28-1) ...

:-) Please select the modules that apache will load
and then, no matter which modules i enter, i get the following error:
expr: syntax error
dpkg: error processing libapache-mod-perl (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
libapache-mod-perl
i've tried apt-get removing this package, i've tried dpkg
--configuring it ... nothing works.
now i actually want libapache-mod-mp3, and its concomitant packages.
i need libapache-mod-perl for this, if i read everything correctly ...
and anyhow, i'd like to make it stop giving me this obnoxious error
message every time i use apt.
a friend suggested that this was a problem intergrating with my
version of perl (i was running 5.8.1-2), and that i try installing the
libapache-mod-perl in unstable instead. having done so, i'm now
running perl 5.8.2-2, but libapache is still stuck in the confuigure
queue somehow.
any hints?
thanks,
</nori>
