FWD: Bug#77247: debconf: debconf won't install
reassign 77247 perl-5.6-base
thanks
AFAIK, the only fix for this is disabling the perl alternatives mess,
which is already planned. I don't see that this is a debconf problem at
all; dependancies on perl-5.6-base should only be satisfied if perl
points to it; it is the current version of perl after all.
