Package: perl-base
Version: 5.10.0-9
Severity: serious

Upgrading a freshly debootstrapped lenny chroot to sid, I got this:

Setting up man-db (2.5.1-4) ...
Can't locate Hash/Util.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl

dpkg: error processing man-db (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The bug is that fields.pm requires Hash::Util, which is in perl,
which was not installed.

Please move Hash::Util to perl-base, or modify fields to not use it.
