Could you post the output of 'dpkg -l perl\*'? If any of them are in bad states (normally indicated by one of the first two letters of a line being in uppercase) then configuring it with 'dpkg --configure' or reinstalling it may help. Also, make sure you don't have a strange version of perl somewhere else on the $PATH while running dselect. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
