Here's the dump: # apt-get install postgresql Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: postgresql: Depends: libperl5.8 (>= 5.8.4) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages I next tried to install libperl5.8, but it looks like it won't install because perl is already at too new of a version: # apt-get install libperl5.8 Reading Package Lists...

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-8) but 5.8.7-3 is to be installed E: Broken packages My guess is that libperl5.8 is out of date. Is that correct? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Digital Media Library Specialist (515) 271-1934 Cowles Library 140, Drake University -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
