Not sure what cause/solution is.
i played around and now it works. i went to the /var/cache/apt directory and did dpkg -i perl-5.10.1-3.deb and there was a conflict with perl-docs-5.10.0 so i removed that apt-get remove perl-docs-5.10.0 then there was something about needing perl-base-5.10.1-3 it had already been downloaded in this directory: so i installed that dpkg -i perl-base-5.10.1-3.deb (or something).deb then i tried to install latest perl-modules and latest perl package in same directory dpkg -i perl-modules-5-1-.1-3 and dpkg-i perl-5.10.1-3 it gave errors about dependecy being messed up. then i went and simply did apt-get install -f and it fixed itself miraculously! then i did apt-get upgrade and now all is ok DO NOT DO THIS. it may hose your computer and you will have broken parts!!! :) of course i did it and it worked beautifully:) good luck. i love sid. > > Kelly > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
