Bug#353761: perl: Perl lib version (v5.8.4) doesn't match executable
Package: perl Version: 5.8.7-10 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I upgraded my computer from debian sarge to etch a while ago and can't get rid of the following message: # apt-get -f install --- snip --- Setting up libpango1.0-common (1.10.3-1) ...

Yours apparently is not. > I suspect this is an instance of local breakage, not a packaging bug. Shouldn't this have been fixed with dpkg --force-overwrite? At least with purging the package and reinstalling it? I made a symlink now: ls -ld /usr/lib/perl/5.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2006-02-21 10:46 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 -> 5.8.7/ and that fixed the problem.

Then this had to be an essential package, doesn't it? So I guess this would have been detected long ago. > Please check the output of 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/perl/5.8'.

So this is infact a local issue, even if I don't know how it happend. But that's my own problem, not yours! Thank you for the help! Ulrich Fürst
