Thanks. In a nutshell .. Tux:/usr/bin# ./perl5.8.0 -V Can't locate Export.pm in @INC (but it gave me the files making up @INC)
I copied Exporter.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 and Tux:/usr/bin# ./perl5.8.0 -V [heaps of stuff] @INC /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/share/perl/5/8/0 /usr/local/lib/site_perl and a similar format with Tux:/usr/local/bin perl -V I tried apt-get install -q <package> &> apt.log but it always hung. I might be missing something... apt-get -f -u dist-upgrade --fix-broken now gives me ~130 pkgs, probably due to the 'unstable' rate of change. The error message was "Preparing to replace coreutils_5.0.90-2 (using ... coreutils_5.0.90-3_i386.deb) ... install-info (/usr/share/info/coreutils.info): no file /usr/share/info/dir, retrieving backup file /var/backups/infodir.bak cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/info/dir': No such file or directory install-info(/usr/share/info/coreutils.info):copying /var/backups/infodir.bak to /usr/share/info/dir failed, giving up: No such file or directory dpkg: warning old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" I created /usr/share/info/dir and copied /var/backups/infodir.bak there but still could not install coreutils. I deleted 'infodir.bak' from /usr/share/info/dir but apt-install failed with the error message "Preparing to replace coreutils_5.0.90-2 (using .../coreutils_5.0.90-3_i386.deb) ... install-info(/usr/share/info/coreutils.info): failed to lock dir for editing! Operation not permitted. E: ...)" which leaves me stumped. Any constructive ideas appreciated. Adam Bogacki.
