Note that in addition, since perl 5.8.0 includes some modules which were previously stand-alone, any package declaring a versioned[0] dependency on: libdigest-md5-perl, libmime-base64-perl, libnet-perl, libtime-hires-perl, libstorable-perl, libattribute-handlers-perl, libcgi-perl, libi18n-langtags-perl, liblocale-maketext-perl, libmath-bigint-perl, libnet-ping-perl, libtest-harness-perl, libtest-simple-perl needs to either have the version for that dependency removed, or just to depend on perl (>= 5.8.0). [0] The 5.8.0 perl packages do provide these so un-versioned dependencies are fine, dpkg/apt just don't support versioned provides. --bod
