** Description changed: I tried to install the new version of flashplugin64-installer from the sevenmachines PPA today when this error popped up. I don't know if it's related though... The error message was "debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Unrecognized character \x05 in column 39 at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/List/Util.pm line 27." with some follow up errors. The error stopped dpkg from processing anything else. Removing of perl is not an option, too many things depend on it. Checking the file in question, it was either a typo or a problem with the charset, which, in my case, is de_AT@UTF-8. I fixed the typo and the compilation was successful, fixing the error. I made a small diff of the files to easily fix it. Is there something else i can do? diff /usr/lib/perl/5.10/List/Util.pm /usr/lib/perl/5.10/List/Util.pm~ 27c27 < XSLoader::load('List::Util', $XS_VERSION); --- > XSLoader::load('List::Util', $XS_VRSION); + Edit: More info. The broken file comes from package + flashplugin64-installer of sevenmachines/flash ppa. I would change the + associated package, but it won't let me, because it's no official ubuntu + package. Sorry to the perl guys, but that's where apt-file found the + file in question. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: perl-base 5.10.1-17ubuntu4.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jul 14 12:59:57 2011 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=de:en - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 - LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=de:en + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 + LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: perl UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
