This might work (no guarantees, though): dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libcdaudio1_0.99.12p2-7_i386.deb dpkg -r libcdaudio0 (Libcdaudio0 has been replaced by libcdaudio1; something went wrong with this on your system.) After that you can try the "install -f" and then the upgrade again. There is a good chance that perl was only blocked by dpkg's inability to deal with libcdaudio1. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
