Probably some of those packages are in the base. $ find /var/lib/dpkg/info -name '*inst' | xargs grep -lw perl /var/lib/dpkg/info/dpkg.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/dpkg.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ldso.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/netstd.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/smail.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/smail.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/sudo.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/fvwm2.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/inn.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/wenglish.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/at.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-package.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/netpbm.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/wswedish.postinst $ Of these, only dpkg and ldso are in base. I'm pretty sure dpkg comes with commands that require perl, and that it isn't realistic to rewrite in sh (note that awk is not in base). -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
