Hi everybody.
I've got a problem while attempting to install some .debs. This is the
output I get from dpkg (regarding ifupdown, but it's the same for other
packages as well):
=== BEGIN CUT HERE ===
Can't modify goto in lvalue subroutine return at

dpkg: error processing ifupdown (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
ifupdown
=== END CUT HERE ===
The package(s) itself is installed, but seems something strange happens
while executing post-inst script. I don't know if I'm supposed to modify
or customize something, I've took a look at those scripts but don't know
Perl (though it seems time to learn it...) so I'm afraid to "break"
something down... This is the output of "perl --version".

Is it a version problem, or some other thing missing? I didn't find
anything similar in previous messages...
Thanks again. 8-)
