Re: apt-get upgrade to Woody errors out
Debconf seems to rely on new perl.
I do not know what exactly the reason because dist-upgrade should take
care of this:-(
At any rate, since you did download, following forceful stuff should
resolve dependancy:
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives
# dpkg -i perl*
... repeat until it installs all You may have to do similar for "libdb2*"
# dpkg -i *
... repeat untill it install all or instead run apt-get with --nodownload
See my web page http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ for similar
recovery tactics.
