I'm running 'unstable' and am wondering a little bit about it removing perl-5.005-base and perl-5.005 because I have those installed, but they are listed as 'transitional packages'. But more or less you're going to have to go through with it if you want to upgrade to testing. You might try 'apt-get install debconf perl-5.005-base perl-5.005' and see what happens with that. But really, I think you'll be ok saying yes. Hope that helps, Jimmy Richards > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
