severity 558272 grave thanks I'm raising the severity because of the urgency and to make sure that this bug (an important regression vs lenny, that has been fixed in a new upstream bugfix release for 9 months) is noticed soon enough for squeeze. See other comments below.

Date-Calc-6.3 was released on October 31, 2009. FYI, the latest upstream releases were: Date-Calc-6.0 on 2009-10-08 (currently in Debian/testing) Date-Calc-6.1 on 2009-10-16 Date-Calc-6.2 on 2009-10-16 Date-Calc-6.3 on 2009-10-31 The fact that the releases up to 6.3 are close enough (less than a month between them) seems to imply that they are bugfix releases, and the fact that there have not been releases since 6.3 is probably because version 6.3 is quite stable. In this context, even though Squeeze is frozen, I think that version 6.3 should go to Squeeze. Note: this also requires an upgrade of libcarp-clan-perl to Carp::Clan 6.04 for about the same reasons; versions 6.02 and 6.03 have even been removed from CPAN. Not sure whether the licensing problem 6.04 solves is the cause: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=50796 (FYI, I'm still stuck with the old libdate-calc-perl 5.4-5+b1 under Debian/unstable, because of this bug, even though I've tested that Date::Calc 6.3 from CPAN works.) -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
