I think I need to update my system! (*put a new os on*) Darrin, when are you 
all doing another bsd-fest? better yet could saomneone burn me a bsd and I'll 
come pick it up? Or else..... perhaps I could just do a dist- upgrade and 
then once a month do an upgrade.  I think that sounds like the best idea. 
Perhaps a fresh internet install. Opinions? 

This is what it said (the relevant part):
debconf: Unable to load Debconf::Element::Dialog::Error. Failed because: Can't 
locate Debconf/Element/Dialog/Error.pm in @INC (@INC 
contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

Can't locate object method "new" via package 
"Debconf::Element::Dialog::Error" (perhaps you forgot to load 
"Debconf::Element::Dialog::Error"?) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd.pm 
line 67, <GEN1> line 7.
