Package: libmodule-corelist-perl
Version: 2.35-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Tried to dist-upgrade today, but perl wouldn't upgrade due to a conflict with
libmodule-corelist-perl.
I removed libmodule-corelist-perl (and perl-doc too, opened separate bug for
that), but now I can't install libmodule-corelist-perl back:
sudo apt-get install libmodule-corelist-perl
