reassign 484469 perl thanks Hi,
Neither is this dpkg that's faulty: /bin/sh: line 1: 10805 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt It simply looks like that perl segfaults whenever it has something to do. Giovanni, you simply show the final problem but I suppose it didn't appear suddenly that way... you did a dist-upgrade or something just before, isn't it? Do you have a log of it? Please give the output of the following commands in the situation where you have the problem: dpkg -l 'perl*' dpkg -l liblocale-gettext-perl perl -MLocale::gettext -e 'print gettext("hello\n")' perl -e 'print "hello\n"' For future reference, the full log from the paste URL is: # apt-get -f install Reading package lists...
