Hi people, It appears there's something fscked up with debconf+X+perl upgrade procedure in sid, upgrading from potato. The upgrade left me without /etc/X11/X (I've already filed a bug about that) and see what I get when I try to reconfigure stuff:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common Can't locate warnings.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/warnings/register.pm line 3.

After installing that, most of the things worked fine. Isn't there a (versioned) dependency missing somewhere? -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
