problems with broken perl-package in sid
Hello World!
I fail to update to sid, while installing perl-base-5.6.1-2_i386. The error
is that dpkg complains about trying to overwrite a dir with a non-dir;
a log with a bit more verbosity is attached.
I'm also not sure if this is a software-bug or just my personal fault
somewhere ....
cheers
