Package: perl-suid
Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze2
Dear package maintainers,
Currently when migrating from [squeeze] to [sid] I have faced the
following problem:
- The package "perl" was upgraded from 5.10 to 5.12 [OK]
- The package "perl-suid" was simply removed (as no corresponding
version was found in [sid] or [experimental])
This causes troubles in installations that rely on perl-suid.
Package perl:
