/usr/share/perl/5.6.0/base.pm is the newer one. Try 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/perl5/base.pm' to find out where the older one came from; I'd expect that it came from perl-5.005, and that you somehow managed to keep a version of perl-5.005 that wasn't just a transitional package through the recent perl upgrade. What versions of perl, perl-base, perl-5.005, and perl-5.005-base do you have? (Try 'dpkg -l perl', etc.) Did you use --force-depends or --force-conflicts at any point while installing packages? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
