Looks like you tried to upgrade potato's perl to the perl from testing. 'apt-get install' won't make good decisions if you try that, as you have to upgrade other parts of your system to match. Use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or dselect instead. > What was the problem? Why did install start such removing mayhem? Conflicts. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
