Package: perl
Version: 5.8.7-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I upgraded my computer from debian sarge to etch a while ago and
can't get rid of the following message:
# apt-get -f install

Errors were encountered while processing:

This happens with several packages (e.g. xfonts-scalable), so these
packages aren't installable. They stay unconfigured.
$ perl -V
Perl lib version (v5.8.4) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.7)\

I tried to reinstall all perl packages with:
# dpkg --force-overwrite -i perl_5.8.7-10_i386.deb perl-base_5.8.7-10_i386.deb \
perl-modules_5.8.7-10_all.deb libperl5.8_5.8.7-10_i386.deb
didn't lead to anything. The same with perl purged (with --forec)
before reinstallation.
It happens with other parts of perl to. This is a mail from cron:
/etc/cron.daily/apt-show-versions:
