So, today apt updated debconf, and the errors changed:
Setting up debconf (0.5.34) ...
Use of reserved word "our" is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19.
Bareword "our" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19.
Unquoted string "our" may clash with future reserved word at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19.
Array found where operator expected at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19, at end of line
(Do you need to predeclare our?)
Global symbol "@EXPORT" requires explicit package name at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19.
syntax error at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Gettext.pm line 19, near "our @EXPORT"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 22.
dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
`
However, could this be a problem?
leko:/home/aarons#update-alternatives --config perl
There is only 1 program which provides perl
(/usr/bin/perl-5.005). Nothing to configure.
leko:/home/aarons#apt-get install perl-5.6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, perl-5.6 is already the newest version
Anyone know how to fix this?
