Hi Berthold: Since no experts have spoken yet, I'll throw some ideas out. If its' always perl-base giving the trouble, can you try upgrading or downloading this first? Sometimes when installing or up-grading I've had to dpkg -i several times to get everything working. hth Dean Berthold Cogel wrote:
I NEED HELP!!! Each time I try to update Debian Slink, the process is terminated because of some problems with the perl packages. The update of perlfails because perl-base is not configured. It doesn't matter how I update the system. It's the same problem with 'apt-get dist-upgrade', deselect-apt, via Internet or cdrom. After this bug happens, the whole system is in an undefinded state sothat I have to restore my backup. Is there anybody, who can help? Thanks in advance Berthold Cogel
