Joseph -


Thanks for your help and for the email.

(1)  However, it did not resolve the issue
* install -f failed
* clean appeared to do nothing
* update downloaded kernel image version 60
* install -f (again) again failed:
I get error messages as before, including
debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (base defines neither package nor 
VERSION--version check failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver.pm 
line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver.pm line 8.
  ...
syntax error at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 148, near 
"debug developer"

(2)  Bug on bugs.launchpad.net (!)

Failed to update bug to Confirmed: a load of HTML/JavaScript appeared on 
the pop-up (in red) after I clicked on Confirmed.  When I clicked on OK, 
the pop-up vanished but the bug was still Incomplete.

Failed to post the above on bugs.launchpad.net - the same pop-up 
appeared (labelled Error)

I have Firefox 27.0.1

Cheers
Simon

Title:
  package linux-image-3.2.0-60-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 255

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Repeated problems with Updatre Manager - apt-get - dpkg.

  Appear to stem from a file perl5/Debconf/DbDriver.pm which contains
  the errorneous line "use base 1.01 # ensure that they don't have a
  broken perl installation".  Ironic, eh?

  I tried various other things after "use base" (there should be a
  package name, right?) but they didn't work.
