Hmm. For some reason, it wants perl-5.005-base to be on that line as well. I'm not quite sure why. >apt-get install perl-5.005 perl-5.005-base works correctly. I'm not quite sure this happens though. perl-5.005 should just pull perl-5.005-base in automatically. I've cc'ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] for an answer. I've also included the appropriate lines out of the Packages file. The line in question was: deb http://www.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental ./ The entries in the Packages file are: Package: perl-5.005 Version: 5.005.03-0.8 Priority: important Section: .
