Thank you, Christian. Yes, man-db's unspecified dependency on perl
appears to be the problem. And so it seems, as BG Lim pointed out
(thank you), that this is a small packaging bug. Thanks, folks.

Hi,
did you install perl ? Or did you stick with the perl which comes with
the installation disks and didn't install the rest of perl ?
I have
dpkg -s
The problem is that the script needs Long.pm, which (I think), is a Perl
script. Install Perl from interpreters and it should be fine.
I think this is a bug, because perl is big and not many people esp newbies
want it or need it, just to install man, which shoudl be the first thing
any newbie
Summary of problem:
--
Installation of the current (bo/1.3) man package fails. In
particular, with a fresh install of Debian 1.3, both
dpkg -i man-db_2.3.10-38.deb
and
dpkg -i man-db_2.3.10-39.deb
yield failed configuration due to failure of /usr/sbin/chmanconfig.
