Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-5
Severity: critical
When upgrading from 5.12 to 5.14.2-5, it is possible for doc-base
triggers to be run after unpacking perl, but prior to unpacking
perl-base or perl-modules, or the upgraded doc-base package. This
results in the apt installation job aborting (due to a failed trigger)
with a broken perl installation. The result looks a bit like this:

dpkg --configure -a.

This was fixed in a recent upload (we already declared Breaks: on
versions of doc-base not tolerant to being called during a perl
upgrade, but this wasn't enough, so changed to Conflicts).
Cheers,
