The question is how those files got left around I wish I knew. You are the third person to report this problem with files from an older version of debconf being left behind in /usr/lib/perl5/Debconf/ after dpkg upgrades it to a newer version with files in /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/. About 10 other people have reported similar problems, except the files were fields.pm and/or base.pm, which are from perl-base, not debconf. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a bug in dpkg, or something _really_ weird involving perl. -- see shy jo
