[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

By the way, the program really should put a couple of newlines

"I want to resolve dependencies, but no dependency resolver was created.The following packages will be upgraded:"
                                                                        ^HERE

# aptitude install perl

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     libperl5.26 [Not Installed]
2)     perl-doc [5.24.1-2 (now)]
3)     perl-modules-5.26 [Not Installed]

     Upgrade the following packages:
4)     libperl5.24 [5.24.1-2 (now) -> 5.24.1-5 (unstable)]
5)     perl [5.24.1-2 (now) -> 5.24.1-5 (unstable)]
6)     perl-base [5.24.1-2 (now) -> 5.24.1-5 (unstable)]
7)     perl-modules-5.24 [5.24.1-4 (now) -> 5.24.1-5 (unstable)]
