Did so without O and now I get:

Unpacking perl-base....
dpkg:dependency problems prevent configuration of perl-base:
perl-base depends on perl5-base;however;
Package perl5-base is not installed.
..

When I try to install a perl-5*-base I get an error about libc6 is
unpacked, but has never been configured.

Well you see I'm a newbie  in dpkg topics and others too....

Thanks for every help
