Package: debfoster
Version: 2.7-2.1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have clean installation, keepers file is updated, command "debfoster
-s" show NO packages.
Then I install package libdatetime-perl, add this package to keepers
list.
Debfoster -s shows:
root@orion:~# debfoster -s
The following packages have been orphaned:
libscalar-list-utils-perl
Package lidatetime-perl depends on:
Depends: perl (>= 5.24.1~rc4-1), perlapi-5.24.1, libc6 (>= 2.2.5),
libdatetime-locale-perl (>= 1:1.06), libdatetime-timezone-perl (>=
1:2.02), libnamespace-autoclean-perl (>= 0.19),
libparams-validationcompiler-perl, libspecio-perl, libtry-tiny-perl
and package libdatetime-locale-perl depends on:
Depends: perl, libnamespace-autoclean-perl (>= 0.19),
libparams-validationcompiler-perl, libscalar-list-utils-perl (>=
1:1.45) | perl (>= 5.25), libspecio-perl
so:
libscalar-list-utils-perl (>= 1:1.45) | perl (>= 5.25)
I think debfoster gets confused about dependencies of such alternative.
