I am running Testing. I regularly apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. My most recent upgrade (25th October 2004) aborts claiming unmet dependencies for some mozilla packages. apt-get -f install aborts with debconf complaining of a syntax error in /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm and a parse error in /var/lib/dpkg/available.
The first error message is: debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Can't find string terminator "`" anywhere before EOF at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 238. I seem to have solved the problem by removing the backtick in line 238 of /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm, changing it from return @langs,`_getlocalelist($language); to return @langs, _getlocalelist($language); Should I report this as a bug? -- Chris Lale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
