Dear all,
Let me share my problem and I have high hopes that I can find help here.
Lately during apps installation / upgrade I get the following error (whether doing this from software manager / update manager or via terminal - all the same):
installArchives() failed: debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 1) line 2.
