Actually, if perl gets upgraded before the new library is installed, and something else being upgraded... say the c++ libs, needs perl for its postinstall script, you get this error. Or at least this happened last time I upgraded a few hundred packages :) Version: 5.6.0-21 Depends: perl-base (= 5.6.0-21), perl-modules (= 5.6.0-21), libc6 (>= 2.2.1-2), libdb2, libgdbmg1 Source: glibc Version: 2.2.2-4 I've got the feeling perl isn't doing the libdeps right. I haven't had time to investigate much though, and my experience so far with sending in bugs is that if they aren't right people sometimes get decently hostile that you even think their package has another bug. :) -- Scott Dier <dieman@ringworld.org> <sdier@debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos@irc.openprojects.net So little time, so little to do. -- Oscar Levant
