I'd like to continue to have a working perl binary without installing the full package; disk space is a big issue. The base set of 0.93 gave me perl 5.001m as /usr/bin/perl (and /bin/perl symlinked to it). To dpkg it's orphaned; and I can't dig up an old Contents file now to see if any old package 'fesses up. All of the 'base' packages on my system are current, but I still have that a.out perl and nothing more recent.
This has become a foreground issue since kernel-package requires perl 5.002. Do I have to install the whole perl package, or can I get a no-frills, dpkg-recognized 5.002 binary? (and then force-depends kernel-package? Or can I just force it now? I'm presuming Manoj had his reasons.) Does everybody else just have the perl package installed? :-) -- Ed Donovan [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS - Repeat question, sorry; in May this was part of a long letter, but slipped through the cracks. PPS - Congratulations, Bruce and everybody, on Debian 1.1. Thanks.
