unable to dpkg-reconfigure mostly anything due to perl errors
Hi people,
It appears there's something fscked up with debconf+X+perl upgrade procedure
in sid, upgrading from potato. The upgrade left me without /etc/X11/X (I've
already filed a bug about that) and see what I get when I try to reconfigure
stuff:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common
Can't locate warnings.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/warnings/register.pm line 3.

The same happened with all other things I tried to dpkg-reconfigure.
The packages that might be related:
iU debconf 0.5.49 Debian configuration management system
ii xserver-common 4.0.2-1 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii perl-5.005 5.005.03-7.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report
ii perl-5.005-bas 5.005.03-7.1 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
iU perl-5.6-base 5.6.0-6.2 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
ii perl-base 5.004.05-1.1 Fake package assuring that one of the -base
The package contents search says /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/warnings.pm exists in
perl-5.6 package. After installing that, most of the things worked fine.
Isn't there a (versioned) dependency missing somewhere?
