I had the same problem with a virgin Debian 1.1 installation. I
investigated and found that the kernel-image/kernel-source postinst
and prerm scripts reference "#! /bin/perl".
However, on my virgin Debian 1.1 installation, there was no
symlink from /bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl! I manually created the
symlink and that fixed the problem.
I've been meaning to report this as a bug - but I haven't figured out
how to do that yet...
