Thanks, this is the ideal solution.

What do you mean with "native-install doesn't handle it properly"? Seems
that something went wrong for you. I call perl, but only after I run "dpkg
--pending --configure" twice, which should configure perl.

Yes, bash 2.02 is pretty buggy. Unfortunately there is no Debian package of
bash 2.02 yet. I would be happoer only to recompile it for the Hurd when
the new version is on the Debian server. If this doesn't happen any time
soon, I'll probably have to make sure a NMU is made (or make my own).
Thanks,
