Installing custom packages
I've managed to build the latest (unstable) version of postfix on my
Potato box (with some difficulty.) I now cannot install it:
mailhost:/home/gai/debbuild# dpkg -i
postfix_0.0.20010502.SNAPSHOT-5_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 20882 files and directories currently
installed.)
Preparing to replace postfix 0.0.19991231pl11-1 (using
postfix_0.0.20010502.SNAPSHOT-5_i386.deb) ...
Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix.
Can't locate Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5 .) at /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/config line 7.

dpkg: error processing postfix_0.0.20010502.SNAPSHOT-5_i386.deb
(--install):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
postfix_0.0.20010502.SNAPSHOT-5_i386.deb
I've already apt-get source'd the latest dpkg* packages. and I've gone
the symlink route, placing a link to ConfModule.pm in one of the
places that perl looks. That just leads to more problems, of course.
Can anyone suggest what steps to take next? Thanks a _log_ for any
help provided.
Gai
