Package: libtest-simple-perl Version: 1.001014-2 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: perl-5.22-transition
As discussed in #790302 on the perl side, libtest-simple-perl and perl 5.22 need to agree on the Provides/Replaces/Breaks for libtest-tester-perl and libtest-use-ok-perl, which were merged into Test::Simple and are therefore bundled with Perl 5.22. Since we decided to have libtest-simple-perl Provide the old binary packages as virtual packages, perl 5.22 needs to do that as well in order not to break the reverse dependencies. However, as libtest-simple-perl Breaks: libtest-tester-perl, libtest-use-ok-perl this will make impossible to install perl and libtest-simple-perl at the same time: those Breaks affect virtual packages too. The Breaks therefore need to be versioned, and with them the Replaces too (to make sure they mean replacing the whole packages rather than overwriting files in them, see policy 7.6.2.) I'll fix this shortly, filing this mainly to explain the reasoning. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
