Hello Marcin, it is to your credit how quickly you respond. However, I am slowly beginning to think that I won't be able to get this installation working. Thanks for your suggestion, but see for yourself: ... root@bacula:~# dpkg -l perl Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig- aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============- ===================================================== ii perl 5.40.1-6 amd64 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language ... The Perl package is installed. Why am I getting this error message? Unfortunately, your tip was incorrect.
