No, POSIX is in perl-5.005-base. But some files (autosplit.ix at least) are missing. > * Is it a problem? For who? POSIX is needed for the i18n of perl script from the base system (adduser comes to my mind) > Again, is it a bug?

And explain to Darren, that they should be corrected rapidly in order to let people test further the new boot floppies. I can NMU the perl packages in order to correct this if Darren can't do it ...
