That would be the one from unstable, then? That requires unstable's perl packages, which have been reorganized. Just use the one in your current distribution. >Also, I tried to dpkg --install perl-5.6.0-20_i386.deb >from the unstable section, and again the problem of >many of my packages depending on the perl-5.005 >packages came up. Again - don't, unless you want to upgrade to unstable. Even in unstable a lot of packages still haven't been updated to cope with the reorganization. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
