Ouch. I have never seen this. Those files mentioned are part of the
debconf package. Just a shot in the dark: are you logged in using a
nonstandard terminal size? What arm port are your running? The current
official one (oldabi) or the onofficial experimental eabi? If you see
things like this, I don't think they are related to mysql. What happens
if you install other packages?
Maybe your perl installation is corrupted??? You could try reinstalling
perl5? I don't get this (m//) pattern warning. My line 33 and 48 read:
my ($rows)=`stty -a 2>/dev/null` =~ m/rows (\d+)/s;
my ($cols)=`stty -a 2>/dev/null` =~ m/columns (\d+)/s;
or, (m/) patterns... I don't know if that's relevant...
Good luck,
David
