You have perl-5.005, so my advice doesn't apply yet (Bob had perl-5.6). If you haven't upgraded your version of perl yet, don't worry about debconf until you do. If you're trying to get the libpaperg in testing installed, though, you might try 'apt-get install perl' first. All this should be straightened out by the time woody goes stable, I hope ... And it's still much easier to understand with dselect. :) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
