Debian – apt-get install perl problem

Posted onAuthorgeorgik

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

  3. 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
