Inst perl-5.005-suid [perl-5.005 on perl-base] [] E: Internal Error, Couldn't configure a pre-depend Aha! However I think there is still a problem: Package: perl-5.005 Priority: important Section: interpreters Installed-Size: 5168 Maintainer: Darren Stalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 5.005.03-4 Replaces: data-dumper, perl, perl-5.005-base Provides: data-dumper, perl5 Depends: perl-5.005-base (= 5.005.03-4) Pre-Depends: perl-base (>= 5.004.04-2) | perl5-base Recommends: perl-5.005-doc (= 5.005.03-4) Suggests: perl-5.005-suid, perl-5.005-debug Okay, this is the predepend. ~$ dpkg -s perl-base Package: perl-base Status: purge ok not-installed Priority: required Section: base not installed, now lets check perl5-base: ~$ dpkg -s perl-5.005-base Package: perl-5.005-base Status: install ok installed Priority: required Section: base Installed-Size: 1143 Maintainer: Darren Stalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: perl-5.005 Version: 5.005.03-3 Replaces: perl-base Provides: perl5-base Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1), libgdbmg1 Suggests: perl-5.005 Conflicts: perl-base (<< 5.004.05), perl Hmmm - that's installed. The pre-dependency _is_ satisified. Is the bug in apt, or is apt covering for a bug in dpkg?
