There is a link missing from one of the perl packages. Go look at one
of the files that "it says is missing." It's actually there - for
instance, do a "which install-info" as root, and it will say
"/usr/sbin/install-info". If you look at first line that file, you
will see that it is a perl script. If you go look for /usr/bin/perl,
then my guess is it's not there. So, make a soft link from
perl5.<whatever> to perl. (Someone correct if this is a bad solution,
please. It's what I did!)
So, do a:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s perl5.00307 perl
(as root of course, and this assumes your perl5 binary is perl5.00307)

This bug, and xbase not putting /usr/X11R6/lib into ld.so.conf seem to
be the biggest of Debian 1.2. (They are pretty big bugs, IMHO, but
with this list or a decent knowledge of linux, not TOO hard to figure
out.)
Later,
Dale
