Debconf seems to rely on new perl. I do not know what exactly the reason because dist-upgrade should take care of this:-(
At any rate, since you did download, following forceful stuff should resolve dependancy: # cd /var/cache/apt/archives # dpkg -i perl* ... repeat until it installs all You may have to do similar for "libdb2*" # dpkg -i * ... repeat untill it install all or instead run apt-get with --nodownload See my web page http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ for similar recovery tactics.
