Got the following errors while attempting to update dpkg-ftp in preparation
to upgrade from Debian 1.1-14 to 1.2. Updated dpkg several days ago without
problem.
mac-bsa:/usr/distribution/binary/net# dpkg -i dpkg-ftp_1.4.8.deb
(Reading database ... 4971 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace dpkg-ftp 1.4.8 (using dpkg-ftp_1.4.8.deb) ...

dpkg thinks perl is not installed although it is and fully functional - as
far as I can tell. I'm not sure how the perl installation information was
lost from the dpkg database. Is there a convenient way to "fix" the perl
database entry without re-installing perl? Does anyone know how this happen?
