Both machines (good and bad) output the same thing here:

Here they are different:

Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at -e line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Process 21421 detached
=============
Also, other packages that depend on libapt-pkg-perl have the same behaviour,
even if not in the instalation. For instance, apt-file does not yell at
instalation time, but running it also outputs the same errors:
# apt-file
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl
at /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/hash.pm line 8
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/hash.pm line 8.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/Config.pm line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/Config.pm line 9.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/apt-file line 30.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/apt-file line 30.
Please feel free to ask anything else, and thanks for your help,
