Thanks for looking at this. While the above sounds good, we also have a wheezy->jessie jenkins upgrade failure with a similar error, tracked as #766260. The log looks like it was with wheezy's apt (0.9.7.9+deb7u6), although it got bumped to 1.0.9.3 during the upgrade. So I wonder if there's another related apt bug or if this is something else. There's a full log in #766260, quoting some snippets: [in a just-prepared wheezy chroot] + apt-get -y install 'haskell-platform.*' 'libghc-.*' [...] [switch to jessie] + apt-get -y upgrade [...] [no change to perl-base/perl/perl-modules yet] + apt-get -yf dist-upgrade [...] Preparing to unpack .../perl_5.20.1-1_amd64.deb ...
