Definitely NOT ! Please read the packaging manual and learn how Debian dependencies work. perl5 is a virtual package provided by both perl-5.004 and perl-5.005. No packages in Debian potato should depend on perl since this is a fake & empty package ... You have to install perl-5.005 in order to satisfy perl5 dependencies. You can also check the new debian perl policy : http://non-us.debian.org/~hertzog/perl-policy.html/ Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog >> 0C4CABF1 >> http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/~raphael/ <pub> CD Debian : http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/~raphael/debian/#cd </pub>
