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.

Yours apparently is not. I suspect this is an instance of local breakage, not a packaging bug. It is possible that the cause of this problem is a package which has mistakenly installed to the CORE (archlib=/usr/lib/perl/5.8) rather than vendor directories. If such a package were to be installed *before* perl, then a directory would be created, which dpkg would then honour when unpacking perl, rather than creating the symlink. Please check the output of 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/perl/5.8'. You should only get 'perl-base' as a match. If any other packages appear, please file a bug on that package. --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If such a package were to be installed *before* perl, then a directory would be created, which dpkg would then honour when unpacking perl, rather than creating the symlink. 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'. You should only get 'perl-base' as a match. If any other packages appear, please file a bug on that package. That's o.k. here. 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
