The interpreter for /usr/sbin/update-inetd is /usr/bin/perl, and
there've been various minor bugs in various core packages in woody
recently which have sometimes combined to cause /usr/bin/perl to
disappear. However, you should have a copy of it close by;
/usr/bin/perl.dist is probable, or perhaps it may be in
/usr/bin/perl-5.005 or /usr/bin/perl-5.6 (as appropriate). Simply move
(in the case of perl.dist) or symlink (in the other cases) this to
/usr/bin/perl, and you should be able to upgrade again.

Cheers,
