Package: perl
Version: 5.8.7-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I upgraded my computer from debian sarge to etch a while ago and
can't get rid of the following message:
# apt-get -f install

Errors were encountered while processing:

This happens with several packages (e.g. xfonts-scalable), so these
packages aren't installable. They stay unconfigured.
$ perl -V
Perl lib version (v5.8.4) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.7)\
at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Config.pm line 32.

I tried to reinstall all perl packages with:
# dpkg --force-overwrite -i perl_5.8.7-10_i386.deb perl-base_5.8.7-10_i386.deb \
perl-modules_5.8.7-10_all.deb libperl5.8_5.8.7-10_i386.deb
didn't lead to anything. The same with perl purged (with --forec)
before reinstallation.
It happens with other parts of perl to. This is a mail from cron:
/etc/cron.daily/apt-show-versions:

--force-overwrite refers to whether files belonging to other packages will
be overwritten. These files didn't belong to any package, so
--force-overwrite has no effect. The problem you ran into is a documented
limitation in dpkg, which will not convert symlinks to directories (or
vice-versa) on upgrade.
But this directory didn't come from a Debian package, so there was no reason
why the perl-base package should have expected to need to handle such a
conversion manually.

Ok, then I'm closing it as it doesn't appear to be a package bug.
Thanks,
