Problem with Template.pm during apt-get upgrade

[Chris Lale <chrislale@untrammelled.co.uk>]

I am running Testing. I regularly apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. My
most recent upgrade (25th October 2004) aborts claiming unmet
dependencies for some mozilla packages. apt-get -f install aborts with
debconf complaining of a syntax error in
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm and a parse error in
/var/lib/dpkg/available.

The first error message is:
debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Can't find string terminator "`"
anywhere before EOF at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 238.


I seem to have solved the problem by removing the backtick in line 238
of /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm, changing it from

	return @langs,`_getlocalelist($language);
to
	return @langs, _getlocalelist($language);

Should I report this as a bug?
