A hack: Install libpaperg as usual (if you have somehow uninstalled it in frustration). Then edit file "/var/lib/dpkg/info/libpaperg.config" to make the first four lines resemble the following: #!/usr/bin/perl -w #use Debconf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all); use Debian::DebConf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all); In other words, comment out the following line (just to be on the safe side as rule I don't delete) use Debconf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all); And replace, adding the "Debian::", with use Debian::DebConf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all); Rerun the install, say by something like "apt-get -f install" or its dpkg equivalent.
