Yeah, I think it may have been a package in my own reprepro that was  
behaving in a similar manner to liblocale-gettext-perl. I disabled my  
own repo, removed my home-made perl packages, and installed the perl- 
base with dpkg and it worked like a charm!

I don't think this is a bug anywhere but in my own configuration. :/
