I did ;-) but the three packages were not enough.
I downloaded
liblocale-gettext-perl_1.05-6+b1_amd64.deb
libxml-parser-perl_2.36-1.1+b2_amd64.deb
perl-base_5.12.3-6_amd64.deb
and tied to install them with
dpkg -i *.deb
That causes an error message, that
perl
has not already been configured.
Additionally, I tried
perl_5.12.3-6_amd64.deb
and then, after a new "missing configuration" message
perl-modules_5.12.3-6_all.deb
At least, I installed all 5 packages manually at once.
After that, all dependency problems were solved and
apt-get dist-update
worked again.
Before that, I followed your advice to check, whether there were any packages
set on "hold" with
dpkg --get-selections
but there were none.
Unfortunately, I don't know now, what exactly prevented the normal update.
Please close the bug - and thank you very much for your kind helping!!!
Cheers
