When installing debian 1.1:

Packages: sudo-1.4.2-2.deb
	  kernel-headers.deb (hand-made using kernel-package 1.02)

Attempts to install yield:
	  unable to execute post-installation script: No such file or
          directory

Attempts to remove or purge:
	  This package is in a very inconsistent state.  Please
          reinstall before removing.

Attempts to re-install:
         unable to execture post-removal script: No such....

Ideas?

These packages postinst and postrm scripts referred to /bin/perl
instead of /usr/bin/perl

Get an updated Perl package, or make a link /bin/perl pointing to
perl.
