More like almost no perl. I think the dpkg scripts are the only perl
I touch these days..

Right, that's a side-effect from the current nasty libc<->ncurses
conflict (both #define ERR). I got it working, cleaned up my fixes
and build a new package. And apparently missed one file in the
cleanup :(. Both are fixed in 1.6.11 though, which is already installed
in the archive.

If you use dselect to upgrade you should still be able to use
"dselect update" and "dselect install", possibly even "dselect select".
