Hello all, I seem to have a serious problem with perl.
I tried to install xmms from sid, which coinstalled sid's perl. (Don't do that stuff after midnight 8-/. Back in woody, if I install or reconfigure anything I get an error with following output: ursa:/home/georg# dpkg --reconconfigure gs Richte gs ein (5.50-8) ... Can't modify goto in lvalue subroutine return at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Base.pm line 24, near "}" Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3. ...propagated at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/base.pm line 18.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 22. dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von gs (--configure): Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 255 zurück Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von: gs So it seems there is something messed up with perl. As I'm not experienced with perl or whatever that problem generates, has anybody a hint, please, how to proceed with that kind of problem. Any help greatfully appreciated TIA -- mfg Georg Koss mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
