"E: Package libarchive-zip-perl has no installation can

[Albretch]

Hi

I am trying to install some perl package on Debian, but when I go:

apt-get install libarchive-zip-perl

I get "E: Package libarchive-zip-perl has no installation candidate"

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libarchive-zip-perl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libarchive-zip-perl has no installation candidate

What exactly do I need to change in /etc/apt/sources.list in order to install libarchive-zip-perl and in general how do you find out?

Thank you

OK, I decided to just re install perl but got some new error I don't really know how o deal with telling me "perl depends on perl-base (= 5.8.8-7etch6)"

How can I install a complete copy of perl 5.8.8?
