Bug#45885: libc6; error during upgrade
Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.2-3
Severity: normal
I upgraded, and the archive had both a new libc6 and a new perl. After
downgrading the packages, the cofiguration went wrong. In fact,
/usr/bin/per-5.005 didn't have its execute bit on. Tihs made the
configuration of libc6 fail, and in turn made the configuration of perl
fail, because libc6 was not configured.
Manually setting the execution bits on perl broke the loop.
