Re: Hair-puller
Thanks for the quick feedback, Franck!
I agree-it does seem to be a problem with Perl.
But I get the same problem with perl-5.6. In fact, I installed all the
transitional packages from unstable, and still no debconf :(
Oh, and just for fun I snagged perl 5.6.0.18 from incoming to see if
that might correct the problem. It didn't.
Best,
Don
