That's weird, I'm going to need more details. The only way I can get this to happen is by manually creating /usr/bin/perldoc.stub first: # dpkg --purge perl-doc # touch /usr/bin/perldoc.stub # apt-get install perl-doc Was this an upgrade or a new installation of the package? Is it reproducible? Which architecture is this? What's the output of ls -l /usr/bin/perldoc* dpkg-divert --list /usr/bin/perldoc dpkg -S perldoc Why do you mention perl-base in the bug title? (The stub /usr/bin/perldoc should be in the perl package, not perl-base) Thanks for your help, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
