FYI, I tried following this instruction in apt.conf(5): "it should be
tried to explicitly install the package APT is unable to configure
immediately". Specifically, I manually ran:
dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.14.2-5_all.deb
dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i /var/cache/apt/archives/perl_5.14.2-5_i386.deb
dpkg --auto-deconfigure -i /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.14.2-5_i386.deb
The latter two were because having the old versions prevented perl-modules
from configuring and having a half-upgraded perl worried me. After that,
"apt-get -f dist-upgrade" worked.
