Hi all, Somehow something managed to mess up my filesystem a tad (but rebooted into a LiveCD and fscked it; it reported tonnes of errors, all of which have been "resolved") and now I'm left with an apt/dpkg system that might be a touch broken. Whenever I go to install/remove anything it says that "exim4-base" needs upgrading. This in itself is not unusual, however, the following is: The following packages will be upgraded: exim4-base 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. 15 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 931kB of archives. After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y Get: 1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org testing/main exim4-base 4.63-11 [931kB] Fetched 931kB in 15s (59.1kB/s) debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Can't locate Debconf/FrontEnd/Noninteractive.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 13.
