OK, I see the elephant being pulled through the keyhole here with the libgnome2-perl dependency on libgnome2-0. It's just not a very happy user experience, that's all.
Perhaps the dependency message isn't precisely correct? I can try purging libgnome2-perl, installing libgtk2-perl, and see if debconf can raise a gtk dialog. -- You need to add libgnome2-perl to the general packages installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/50168 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
