Package: perl Version: 5.005.02-2 Severity: normal I got an error with dpkg which I suspect is the fault of perl. It seems that Perl's path of library directories is insufficient. The same happened using psptools. It may also be the cause of another problem I observed with apt-get. Here is what I got:
# dpkg -i tetex-bin_0.9.981008-1.deb (Reading database ... 57516 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace tetex-bin 0.9.980706-1 (using tetex-bin_0.9.981008-1.deb) ...
