Package: troffcvt
Version: 1.04-22
Severity: serious
Justification: package uninstallable
Tags: sid patch
User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition

The perl 5.22 transition recently started (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/12/msg00005.html)
and we seem to have missed that this package depends on the deprecated
virtual package "perl5" like some other packages did.

The perl 5.22 packages don't provide perl5, making this package
uninstallable.

I'm sorry that we overlooked this prior to the unstable upload. Please
find below a patch fixing this. Let me know if you'd like this
to be NMUed without further delay.
