Bug#1039709: adduser: Can't locate English.pm

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.136
Severity: serious
User: debi...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

I recently came across several piuparts failures containing

Setting up cron-daemon-common (3.0pl1-162) ...
Can't locate English.pm in @INC (you may need to install the English module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/AdduserLogging.pm line 6.

dpkg: error processing package cron-daemon-common (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
cron-daemon-common

This is not specific to cron-daemon-common, it happens in other
packages (probably using adduser) as well.
