Package: libset-object-perl Version: current in unstable as of 28-dec-00 [ This bug report was automatically generated. If it is in error, close it. ]
libset-object-perl depends on a version of perl prior to perl-5.6; either perl-5.004, perl-5.004-base, perl-5.005, or perl-5.005-base. Perl 5.6 is now the main perl package in debian, and we want to remove the dependancies on older versions of the perl packages ASAP so they can be removed from people's systems, saving space. Perl 5.6 is quite compatable with perl 5.005. Even binary perl module packages that were built with perl 5.005 will work with perl 5.6. See the perldelta man page for details. If you're using dh_perl, simply rebuilding your package on a system with perl 5.6 installed will probably fix the dependancy. If you're not, it's still pretty trivial; a rebuild on a system with perl 5.6 installed and a manual modification of the dependancies. If you are unable or unwilling to do this, I am happy to do NMUs to fix these bug reports on request. -- see shy jo, via a script
