This is an update bug involving perl and apt, which doesn't involve X
(as far as I can tell). I had to get the .deb myself and "dpkg -i" it,
since I got to a broken state where apt couldn't install it.
The package name in question is libdb2. In my case, apt had already
put it in /var/cache/apt/archives/ but couldn't install it.
I suspect that the appropriate maintainers know about this, but I
haven't checked if there is already a bug report filed... I'm not sure
if it's most appropriate to file against libdb2, debconf, apt, or
perl.
