Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: perl
Due to an unfortunate extra dependency on English.pm that got introduced
in safe-rm 0.5, safe-rm will break when perl is upgraded and thus it
will prevent the rest of the dpkg session from working until its symlink
is removed. See LP #568571
All external dependencies have been removed in safe-rm 0.8, but that
doesn't solve the problem of upgrading from karmic to lucid.
Given the severity of this problem, a conflict on safe-rm << 0.8 was
added on perl-base in Debian (perl 5.10.1-11).
I _highly_ recommend you do the same in Ubuntu, otherwise it will cause
lots of hard to diagnose upgrade issues.
