I just tried it and added perl-modules: Breaks: defoma (<< 0.11.12) and rebuilt this as 5.14.2-7.1 and tested it - this is already sufficient to get a working upgrade path: I manually rerun the failed piuparts test: sudo pbuilder login --basetgz .../piuparts-squeeze.tgz apt-get -y install libgraphics-magick-perl sed -i -e s/squeeze/wheezy/ /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get -y dist-upgrade which still failed as expected. The next time I inserted before apt-get update: echo 'deb $URL_TO_PATCHED_PERL ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/perl.list and so I performed a successful dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy but with the patched perl 5.14.2-7.1 instead of 5.14.2-6. This time defoma was upgraded before perl-modules was unpacked and everything went smooth afterwards, no more problems in the old prerm of both fontconfig and libwmf0.2-7. > OTOH, there are only a handful of packages depending on defoma left, > so it might actually be feasible to check them all.

"Fixing" perl, we could fix all possible defoma related errors at one point and get a less noisy upgrade path because there will be no more perl errors "Can't locate File/Copy.pm ..." caused by defoma. A short grep listed about 20 packages that passed the squeeze2wheezy test, but have some 'Can't locate' error message in the logfile. At a first glance I've seen 2 with defoma-app, the other have Can't locate File/Basename.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX.pm line 15. But that seems to be something completely different. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
