Did you do a dist-upgrade? Or just an upgrade? The dist-upgrade
makes sure some things are in place before the rest of the stuff is
upgraded, I think. One of those things is Perl. A lot of the debian
packages depend on it. You might try again if you didn't run
dist-upgrade. If you did, maybe check the mailing lists recently.
Something may be broken.
