I have a machine on which I just did a clean install from the 0.9 release CD, and then upgraded all installed packages from the more-packages dir. Installed various other debs from the CD and web also. slab:/usr/src/wget# apt-get -b source wget Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Need to get 722kB of source archives.

The perl5 problem should be solved by the new version of apt that is on the CD. perl provides perl5, but the old apt you (probably) have doesn't understand that. Richard
