Looks like you have a local (broken) perl installation in /usr/local that is interfering with the /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper. deb-systemd-helper has a shebang line of #!/usr/bin/env perl, which is picking up the first perl available in $PATH, which is /usr/local/bin/perl in your case. Remove /usr/local/bin from your PATH and try again. If you have the PERLLIB or PERL5LIB environment variables set, unset them as well. # export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin # unset PERLLIB # unset PERL5LIB # apt, etc... If this fixes your problem, consider reporting it as a bug on the init-system-helpers package. The deb-systemd-invoke and deb-systemd-helper scripts should be using the #!/usr/bin/perl shebang to always use the system perl. > <snip> -- regards, kushal
