[Koha] Install on Debian Etch

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi Harry,

I'd suggest we move this question to the koha developer's list (CCed).

DBD::mysql most certainly has some unfulfilled dependencies if you install
it from CPAN. I would work from the INSTALL.debian file, rather than the
INSTALL file for your Koha installation, it has specific instructions for how
to prepare the dependencies on Debain Etch -- in short, you need to install
the package maintainers version of DBD::mysql (apt-get install
libdbd-mysql-perl)

The same applies here ... you really need to install the package maintainer's
version of XML::LibXSLT and XML::LibXML, etc. The INSTALL.debian
has some special instructions for this set of modules.

Are you working from the alpha or from a git repo with the latest snapshot?
Which target did you try to install from (standard, single, dev?)
