Help; apt-get trashed system, how to recover
Help. I am running Debian 2.2, with upgrade to Woody from debian.org via FTP. I have been running well for over 5 months without reboot(!) or maintenance. I went to fetch a new package, and my system decided it wanted to get 108 MB of updates. It failed on a bunch of them, I tried again, and again, and then a force (-f) option as suggested by apt-get, to no avail. Perl seems to have kludged itself.. The details follow, how do I recover?!
