Hi all, a few comments out of the off, since I am not responsible for anything in Debian anymore, but I still remember a few bits and pieces, as well as faced the very same problem just recently.

I don't know the current state, but Debian/Ubuntu ships perl-core that are the binary pars, and perl-modules which are the arch-independent parts, and perl which depends on those two. The descriptions clearly state that perl should be installed. Unfortunately, I recently learned (via tinytex issue) that conda seems to install only perl-core without perl-modules, which breaks a "few" things. Reading the above two articles, I can only slap my face that Fedora named perl-core the superset of perl ... even I as non-native shiver from this stupidity. > Without Unicode::Collate the issue is not only that the test suite does > not pass, but also texi2any will fail in any case. This has been going back an forth over the last years. If needed, I can search through git history, but in Debian it was a back an forth between Unicode:Collate and the internal stuff, sometimes one failed/succeeded and the other succeeded/failed, but it was rather random.
