--- Begin Message ---Package: perl-doc Version: 5.10.1-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I did a dist-upgrade today. First corelist conflicted in perl, so I removed libmodule-corelist-perl to allow perl to upgrade. But something with perl-doc conflicted too, so I removed that as well. Now perl upgraded, but I can't install perl-doc anymore (seems perldoc is part of perl too?): $ sudo aptitude install perl-doc latex2html The following NEW packages will be installed: latex2html perl-doc 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 604 not upgraded.
