Well, I upgraded from testing to unstable today and I had similar problems. It seemed that Perl 5.6-base wasn't configured properly. So, I did # dpkg --configure perl-5.6-base # apt-get dist-upgrade and everything worked. It seems like perl was missing a dependency that was fixed with one of the packages configured later in the process, but I'm not certain about that. BTW, this is on powerpc Good luck, Vinod -- _____________________________ Vinod Kurup, MD email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 617.277.2012 cell: 617.359.5990 http://www.medicalrecords.com
