I wanted to install new package on Debian. But what a funny message:
E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'perl-modules'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
How to solve it?
Type:
apt-get install perl -o APT::Immediate-Configure=0
This didn’t work.
@Debian user – could you explain what didn’t work? Please add also version of your perl package.
This didn’t solve the ‘E: Could not perform immediate configuration on ‘perl-modules’.
Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)’ – problem.
installed perl: 5.12.4-6
installed perl-modules: 5.12.4-6
new perl (from debian-repo): 5.14.2-5
new perl-modules (from debian-repo): 5.14.2-5
Asking $searchengine for this problem I found this:

Try manual installation of perl packages via dpkg.
