Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze2
Severity: important


Clean debian 6.0.3 installation. As far only squeeze repo is enabled everything is ok. When I enable testing repo to upgrade my kernel then I when I try to install something which depends on perl (e.g build-essentials packet) I get "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'perl'"
