[Gllug] perl / debian help :-)

[SteveC]

Having installed ximian on a debian potato box, perl now complains as
below. I found some messages on google about /usr/share/locale/ but I
can't figure out what to do. the @INC thing also baffles me. TeX also
seems to be broken, complaing of lots of things.

If I apt-get --reinstall install povray then povray binaries install but
the .inc libs etc don't get installed. This is even though dpkg -S
colors.inc says povray package is the maintainer!? Its really weird, I
figure I must have broken something major that is affecting the setup of
lots of packages. Maybe apt-get uses perl to install stuff and perl being
broken means other stuff is broken? !ny help much appreciated!
