There is a large scale Perl transition going on - up to 400 packages will be affected - a note's just been posted to the debian-devel mailing list. Don't file bugs - do expect some breakage - there is a published transition plan. Usual course of affairs for sid and to be expected from time to time: as Cindy-Sue has already mentioned. Leave it for a week / ten days and it will settle or update daily and watch breakage gradually decrease. IMHO - Including testing will just produce a Frankendebian where you can never be sure what you have from where and which _will_ burn you at some point. All the best, Andy C
