Did you install perl-base 5.004.04-3 and then perl 5.004.04-3 ?

There should be a predepends line in perl 5.004.04-3, but I have heard
that this restriction doesn't work somehow.

I do the following:

dpkg --purge --force depends perl
dpkg --purge --force depends --force remove-essential perl-base

dpkg -i perl-base_5.004.04-3.deb
dpkg -i perl_5.004.04-3.deb

no errors up to here at all

adduser
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hmmm...  Dunno anymore...  doing dpkg -i --force downgrade
pel_5.003-summin fixes the core dump, but of course leaves misc
dependancies lying around, and might have security problems...

Cheers
Neilen

Hi

 
 BTW, the version of PERL I'm trying to install is 5.004.04-2.
 
There is a perl 5.004.04-3 at
ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/DONE/

Maybe it will solve your problems.

Ciao,
   Martin

I lost some mail, so sorry if there has been a solution in the mean
time, but...

I have upgraded to 5.004.04-3, and the problem still persists!

as soon as I upgrade to a newer version of perl, adduser core dumps
immediatly, and dpkg-ftp core dumps right after it says:

connectiong to ftp.debian.org

I downgrade to 5.003.something that came with debian 1.3, and
everything works again, besides I get moaned at in dselect

any ideas?  This is driving my quite insane.

Cheers
Neilen

Is Perl 5.004.04-3 Package Routine Broken? WAS(Re: Perl 5.004.04-2 causes core dumps...)

New problem.

When I attempt to install the Perl 5.004.04-3 file, it breaks at the
post-installation phase.
As such, other updates that require Perl will not configure themselves.

I have even fetched the file manually and used dpkg (with most all of
the debugging options) and still no luck.  I can run the Perl post
install script by hand with configure and it runs just fine, but for
some reason dpkg and dselect both tell me that it can't configure it
because the post install script returned error 123.

In the interrim I have obtained the older Bo release of Perl and have
installed that instead.  Is this a problem with only my machine, or has
anyone else experienced this too?

Hi Stephen,

Don't know how this can help but this is an example of adduser:

Root [~]#adduser pringles  #ok ok i'm eating Pringles now :)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)#it cores out
Root [~]#rm -n core#I remove the core
