Hi, some quick remarks: It looks like your perl installation on the specific machine is somehow broken. The best information source I have found after some googling is [1]. Maybe the output of the following commands on the problematic and on a working machine will narrow down the problem: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> perl -e "use Scalar::Util 'weaken'" dpkg -l perl-base debsums perl-base perl -MScalar::Util -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper(\%INC)' perl -V <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If the first statement fails on the on the specific machine, but succeeds on the working machine, then it is either a broken perl installation or a bug in the perl packages. In either case apt-show-versions is only a problem victim, but not its cause. One possible cause (from [1]) is a problem with /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/List/Util/Util.so [1] http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=481322 Regards, Andreas Hoenen -- Andreas Hoenen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: 1024D/B888D2CE A4A6 E8B5 593A E89B 496B 82F0 728D 8B7E B888 D2CE
