Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.6.1-7
Severity: important

On upgrade from woody -> sarge gnome-control-center fails to install
correctly because one of it's scripts appears to attempt to use modules
from perl 5.8 that are not available in perl 5.6 

I've attached a partial copy of the output from an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
from woody -> sarge upgrade.

Filing this one accordingly. Do reopen if you find a scenario with which to
reproduce the problem.
