It is possible that the cause of this problem is a package which has mistakenly installed to the CORE (archlib=/usr/lib/perl/5.8) rather than vendor directories. If such a package were to be installed *before* perl, then a directory would be created, which dpkg would then honour when unpacking perl, rather than creating the symlink. Please check the output of 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/perl/5.8'. You should only get 'perl-base' as a match. If any other packages appear, please file a bug on that package. --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
