Package: libcompress-zlib-perl I am using Sarge 3.1r1 with a 'testing' source listed in /etc/apt/sources.list. I use amavisd-new and would like to upgrade to 2.3.3 (which requires Compress::Zlib >= 1.35). If I install libcompress-zlib-perl from testing (or unstable) it will upgrade perl, libc6 and the remainder of dependencies that have a version number greater than is supplied with Sarge. This seems excessive considering the author requires Perl 5.004 and zlib version 1.0.6 or better. The version of zlib1g listed as a dependency is still in stable so I'm just not seeing the need for versions of Perl or libc6 greater than what is supplied in the stable release. Certainly if I install Compress::Zlib from CPAN on a newly built Sarge box, it will not complain or attempt to follow any new dependencies.
I'm sure there may be factors I am unaware of that prompted these requirements but it would make life a lot easier of these seemingly unnecessary requirements were not there. Gary V -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
