Reinstalling Perl
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
My Debian perl vs. stable.tar.gz fiasco continues. Prior to today, I
could still use apt-get to install packages, but it now appears that all
attempted installations are failing.
I need to back out of this pretty quick. I'm thinking the fastest way to
correct the problem would be to:
1) uninstall the manual perl (5.6.1) installation
2) $ dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep perl \
| cut -s -f1 > perl-file
3) force a purge on all perl-related .debs appearing in perl-file
4) $ dpkg --set-selections < perl-file
5) $ apt-get update
6) $ apt-get dist-upgrade
Does anyone see any problems with this? I really need to get this thing
corrected pdq. Any advice and/or assistance is most welcome.
