This is on hppa, perl-modules is not part of base. base-config 1.08 perl-base 5.6.1-3 passwd 20000902-6.1 boot-floppies 3.0.0 debconf 0.9.64 Installer doesn't prompt for root password, and doesn't offer to create a normal user. Instead, I get at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm line 42 Can't locate auto/Getopt/Long/Configure.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.6 /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 .) at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm line 142 Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Config.pm line 71. run-parts: /tmp/base-config.166/10passwd exited with return code 2 On a more complete system, I get slab:/usr/src# dpkg -S /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm perl-base: /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm slab:/usr/src# dpkg -S auto/Getopt/Long/Configure.al perl-modules: /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/Configure.al Is this due to my perl-base/passwd/debconf being not quite up to date, or do others see the same thing?
