It seems that you are running Woody. What does your /etc/apt/sources.list
say?
It appears that you are trying to get perl from either the CDROM or stock
Woody sources. Perl 5.6.1-8.6 is only available from security.debian.org.
On the other hand, libpam-runtime is version 0.72-35, whether from Woody
sources or security. Where did you get the updated copy?
According to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, you're telling apt-get to
install the latest version, but it can't see the latest for either package.
I have a feeling if you put security in your sources.list, you won't need to
compile your own samba, and everything will install just fine. If I'm
wrong, please post your sources.list, and tell us where you got the samba
and libpam-runtime packages.
