Yes, I can not remember what I did wrong last time I used Debian. Maybe it is important to say, that I have 2 system running on my machine. 1. Debian (stable, for backups and open-source-software testing) 2. Windows (for gaming and reinstalling every year^^) I did not use Debian for a while (several weeks/months), but now I need it for my work. This is why I do not remember what I changed on the system last time I used it... In your last post you gave me the hint with perl and I checked it... Maybe this is the source of the problem, because as I know apt uses perl somehow...?! ... sorry for the long list :( ... root@debian# dpkg -l |grep perl ii gnuift-perl 0.1.14-9 GNU Image Finding Tool -
