Installing GD for Perl [somewhat long]
Hi List,
After installing ipac-ng with apt I need GD for Perl to make it draw
graphs (a missing dependency in Debian?). Installing gdlib-perl with
apt-get fails:
# server:~/.cpan/build/GD-2.02# apt-get install libgd-perl
# Reading Package Lists... Done
# Building Dependency Tree... Done
# Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
# requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
# distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
# or been moved out of Incoming.
#
# Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely
that
# the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
# that package should be filed.
# The following information may help to resolve the situation:
#
# Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
# libgd-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.6.1
# E: Sorry, broken packages
Ok, not a problem yet. I can still install it with CPAN. Or so I
thought...

Could someone tell me what I have done wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance,
