There[1] seem to be a problem with debconf-i18n package in sid. It is to do
with the Perl 5.10 transition.

debconf dependency problems

2008-05-05 Thread Raj Kiran Grandhi 
I am trying to dist-upgrade my sid machine and am getting a dependency 
error:


==
$ apt-get -d --print-uris --ignore-hold dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  debconf: Depends: debconf-i18n but it is not going to be installed or
debconf-english but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be 
caused by held packages.

I have manually upgrades debconf-i18n and debconf and the currently 
installed versions are the latest as reported by 'apt-cache policy':


==
$ apt-cache policy debconf-i18n debconf
debconf-i18n:

Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there any workaround?
