I tried to use equivs to fake the perl package which is needed by sysutils and probably many other packages.
I installed equivs (stable version) and put the line perl, perl5 into /etc/equivs.conf but the installation of sysutils still fails complaining about a not installed perl5 package (btw searching for a perl5 package on the debian site fails). I tried to use the latest unstable version of equivs but this version depends on a debian perl package and that is exactly one of the packages I would like to fake with equivs. Werner
