Perl-Base - Not Installing (Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Hi all.

I am trying to install VirtualBox on my Eee PC, but I'm having a lot of problems.

This is the script from the -f install:

Code:
eeepc-calebperr:/home/user> apt-get -f install virtualbox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
virtualbox is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.8-7etch1) but 5.8.8-7 is to be installed
  perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.8-7etch1) but 5.8.8-7 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
eeepc-calebperr:/home/user>
Can someone help me with this?
