Please look also at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482140

The main point at the upgrade seems to be this, as described at Ubuntu:

Here is what's happening:
- The scrollkeeper entry should unregistered in scrollkeeper prerm script.
- But for some reason the call to update-xmlcatalog fails with the following perl
error:

Removing scrollkeeper ...
Can't locate File/Spec/Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5

- Then, the call to update-xmlcatalog during rarian installation fails because it
can't register the same entity for different packages.

Now we have to find out why it can't locate Functions.pm


For me i could recover the problem now with:
  apt-get purge rarian-compat
  apt-get install rarian-compat
