dpkg problem installing apache-common

[Neil Levine <levine@yoyo.org>]

Hi,

I recently installed HURD and have tried to install the Apache
package. When attempting to run :

/bin/dpkg -i apache-common_1.3.3-4.deb

It complains about the PERL package not being installed. So I install
(also with dpkg) perl-5.005-base_5.005.03-7.1.deb with no errors. But
when running the above command again I still get:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of apache-common:
 apache-common depends on perl; however:
  Package perl is not installed.

On a (perhaps) similar note, I have installed libc0.2-dev_2.2-3.deb,
again with no errors, but see that the symlinks for the libc files
havent changed from the install-time versions:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      1235624 Jul 19  2000
/lib/libc-2.1.3.so
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          190 Nov 25 02:26 /lib/libc.a
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          182 Nov 25 02:28 /lib/libc.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Feb 13 22:22
/lib/libc.so.0.2 -> libc-2.1.3.so

Am I missing something obvious here or is my dpkg binary lying :-)

Thanks for any help,

Neil
