Hi,

postgresql-plperl-8.2 seems to be the problem by looking at the logfiles.
Can you try 'sudo aptitude remove postgresql-plperl-*' this should remove the conflicting package and then you will be able to reinstall this in Intrepid after the upgrade is complete by running 'sudo aptitude install postgresql-plperl-8.3'

If this works can you please report back and let us know so we can Confirm this as a problem in the upgrade between the 2 packages.

Thank you.
