hi
i just updated perl packages
while updating i received:
cannot remove /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DynaLoader - directory not empty
cannot remove /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto - directory not empty
cannot remove /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE - directory not empty
cannot remove /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux - directory not empty
cannot remove /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 - directory not empty

after that update i could not start even vi () - vi: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when i did locate libperl.so i received /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE/libperl.so but the dir was empty
but in /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE there was libperl.so

i managed to solve it only by creating symlink in the 5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE dir to the existing libperl.so

i think this is not the proper way of doing it, so i would like to know how to set up my system to point it to the newly created library?

thanx
