Uh oh, I think there is a bug in perl
I think there is a very serious bug in perl. Joey Hess reported a bug
against xanim b/c install-mime died when he updated it and xanim.
However I just updateing a bunch of info stuff and I got similar errors.
I think it died b/c I was updating perl at the same time. 'm appending
the errors that dpkg reported when I did the big update. However, when I
reinstalled the info stuff they installed prefectly.
