Thanks James, problem solved for now.

BTW: Why does Hurd contain such crappy dependencies such as perl. Is this part
of upstream or Debian specific? The Debian package does not have it:
apt-cache showsrc hurd | grep Build-Depends | grep -i perl
<empty>
Is there more perl code in upstream Hurd? If not, how about rewrite this code
snippet in C and "remove a should be added" a language dependency!
