Hair-puller
Hi Folks,
Anybody had trouble with debconf falling over dead on a woody upgrade?
Specifically:
--------------------
Preparing to replace debconf 0.2.80.17 (using debconf_0.5.61_i386.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement debconf ...
Setting up debconf (0.5.61) ...
Data::Dumper object version 2.101 does not match $Data::Dumper::VERSION
2.09 at /usr/lib/perl/5.6.0/DynaLoader.pm line 219.
Compilation failed in require at /user/lib/perl5/Debconf/ConfigDb.pm
line 82.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/ConfigDb.pm
line 82.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 23.
Begin failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line
23.
---------------------
whereupon apt chokes.
I've looked over the bug lists and the list archives, and I haven't
found anything sufficiently similar to give me a clue on what to do.
The nearest match on similar problems appears to involve problems with
Perl (I've got 5.6 installed).
Any workarounds, suggestions, or sympathy would be greatly appreciated.
Incidentally, I've tried (from incoming) debconf 0.5.62, 3, and 4, all
with exactly the same result.
Best,
Don
