No. But it might no be a great problem, I tried to see how many packages would be broken : $ zcat Contents-i386.gz | grep 'usr/lib/perl.*\.so' | perl -npe '$_ = ((/^(\S)+\s+(\S+)\s*$/)[1]."\n")' | sort | uniq base/data-dumper base/perl-base contrib/interpreters/libdbd-msql-perl contrib/interpreters/libdbd-mysql-perl contrib/interpreters/msqlperl contrib/math/pgperl devel/eperl devel/pilot-link-perl graphics/freewrl interpreters/alias interpreters/libdatecalc-perl interpreters/libdbd-pg-perl interpreters/libdbi-perl interpreters/libfile-sync-perl interpreters/libgtk-perl,interpreters/libgnome-perl,interpreters/libgtk-imlib-perl interpreters/liblockdev0-perl interpreters/libmd5-perl interpreters/libmsgcat-perl interpreters/perl interpreters/perl-tk interpreters/perlmagick libs/libcompress-zlib-perl libs/libcurses-perl libs/libmime-base64-perl libs/libpgperl libs/libterm-readkey-perl libs/libtime-hires-perl math/netcdf-perl math/pdl math/r-pdl non-free/graphics/libgd-perl web/libapache-mod-perl web/libhtml-embperl-perl That makes 35 packages. Really not unreachable. I can fill the bugreports if needed. Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël ¤ 0C4CABF1 ¤ http://www.mygale.org/~hra/
