install -f выдал ту же ошибку.
Потер все из /var/lib/dpkg/info, снова попробовал install -f. По идее - нечего инсталить - нет ошибок. Однако, выдалось вот это, похожего, кстати, содержания:
sudo apt-get install -f

Такое впечатление, что сильно поломался perl.
Даже cpan не запускается, с похожими ошибками:
sudo cpan

/usr/share/perl/5.10/File/Find.pm has too many errors.
