Hi, just to make sure I'll be doing the right thing to upgrade to Perl5, there's this package:
Package: perl Version: 5.004.05-2 Priority: important Section: interpreters Maintainer: Darren Stalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: perl-5.004, perl-5.004-doc Conflicts: io Provides: io Replaces: io [...] Description: Fake package used for a smooth upgrade This package depends on perl-5.004. Perl-5.005 will conflict with perl so that all dependencies on perl will have to have vanished before perl-5.005 will be installed... Does it mean I have to install this package before any other perl upgrade? Then, for a full perl upgrade: Package: perl-5.004 Version: 5.004.05-3 Package: perl-5.004-base Version: 5.004.05-3 Package: perl-5.005 Version: 5.005.03-4 Package: perl-5.005-base Version: 5.005.03-4 Package: perl-base Version: 5.004.05-1 Oh well, this doesn't look straight... probably the safest will be to do an `apt-get install' of a package which requires perl5 and, theoretically, apt will take care of installing all required packages. I'm thinking of installing satan, so doing: # apt-get install satan should take care of upgrading all the above perl packages (roughly?). Could anyone confirm this? My current perl (slink) installation is: perl 5.004.04-7 perl-base 5.004.04-7 then, some perl depending packages: perl-suid 5.004.04-7 perl-tk 800.011-1 perlmagick 1.34-3 perlsgml 97.09.18-3 data-dumper 2.09-1 dpkg-perl 0.1-2hamm1 eperl 2.2.14-0.2 libgtk-perl 0.3-3 libmd5-perl 1.7-1 libnet-dns-perl 0.12-2 libnet-perl 1.0605-1 libtime-hires-p 1.16-1 libwww-perl 5.36-1 pgrep 1.09-2 TIA -- Horacio Anno MMDCCLII ad Urbe condita mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Spain ~Spanje ~ Spanien -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = F4EE AE5E 2F01 0DB3 62F2 A9F4 AD31 7093 4233 7AE6
