7.04-7.10 upgrade blows up on perl-suid

[dep]

okay. did the adept upgrade thing; all seemed to download, but the installer hung for hours on "preparing to configure perl-suid". so i killed it, leaving a lockfile someplace, apparently.

tried apt-get dist-upgrade as i have seen recommended elsewhere, got this:
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

so did. and:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of perl-suid:
perl-suid depends on perl (= 5.8.8-7ubuntu3); however:
Version of perl on system is 5.8.8-7build1.
perl-suid depends on libperl5.8 (= 5.8.8-7ubuntu3); however:
Version of libperl5.8 on system is 5.8.8-7build1.
dpkg: error processing perl-suid (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
perl-suid

and it dumps out and that's that.

so. how to fix?

thanks.

To fix the errors, you should install the correct versions of 'perl' and 'libperl5.8'. The current versions in gutsy repositories are 5.8.8-7ubuntu3, but you seem to have 5.8.8-7build1 (feisty) versions installed.

It's odd it didn't upgrade the packages automatically, but try to upgrade them manually.
