Ah I see.. that is an awkward bug.

I'm upstream maintainer of List::Util (and in fact Socket, which was
also mentioned in the other bug) - so quite often I find it useful to
have the latest version of it installed in order to test that it
doesn't break things, or to use the feature I just added.

I generally prefer to keep everything under dpkg control, rather than
CPANning extra ones in, though for now as a workaround I can do just
that to have a later version installed.

Is there anything I could do upstream to help the situation?
