Well, that did it. Reinstalled liburi-perl. Checkgmail is working now.

What still surprises me is the following :

$ apt-cache policy liburi-perl
liburi-perl:
  Installed: 1.35.dfsg.1-1
  Candidate: 1.35.dfsg.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.35.dfsg.1-1 0
        900 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
        600 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
mas at dadhici:~$ locate URI.pm
/usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX/PurePerl/Reader/URI.pm
mas at dadhici:~$ dpkg -L liburi-perl

After an apt-get --reinstall install liburi-perl, the relevant files came
up. As you noted, it _is_ weird :-)

Anyway, thanks for the help.
