I'm still not clear which arch you're using, but: >Package perl-base has broken dep on perl-5.004-base > Considering perl-5.004-base 0 as a solution to perl-base 5133 >Fixing perl-base via remove of perl-5.004-base >Package perl has broken dep on perl-5.004 > Considering perl-5.004 1 as a solution to perl 53 would suggest that it's either not i386, or your Packages file(s) are broken. perl-base doesn't depend on perl-5.004-base. Quite the opposite in fact, it conflicts. Regards, -- Brendan O'Dea [email protected] Compusol Pty. Limited (NSW, Australia) +61 2 9810 3633
