Hello, I have an old system that has been running "stable" for ages. I am now truing to upgrade it to "testing" but somehow I have got myself into a deadlock position. debconf is dying because:- debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (IO object version 1.21 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.20 at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 245. and so I cannot upgrade anything now. The tail end of the error messages looks like :- Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (IO object version 1.21 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.20 at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 245.
