You should package, or arrange for somebody else to package, any Perl modules that newsclipper needs that aren't in the distribution yet. I noticed that newsclipper was missing a lot of dependencies some time ago. I packaged libgetargs-long-perl as a result (I forget whether it was a direct dependency or not, but it was needed somewhere along the chain), and Tony Mancill packaged liblog-agent-rotate-perl. There may still be one or two others to do. > Here I send you the output of the execution: > > Can't locate Log/Agent.pm in @INC newsclipper should depend on liblog-agent-perl.
