It would be easily if both were from the team :-)
Looking at reverse-dependencies, I think we can easier manage the removal of libpathspec-perl. the only reverse dependency is libtest-distribution-perl, which is under DPG's umbrella. For starters, we can make libpathtools-perl a "dummy" package depending on libfile-spec-perl. Then we upload libtest-distribution-perl with (build-) dependency changed to libfile-spec-perl, then we schedule libpathtools-perl for removal. Does this look OK? Bastian, BTW if you're willing to give libfile-spec-perl to the Perl group, we can handle its new upstream version and #430937 :) It can also maintain it as part of the group (DDs have commit access to the repository). http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
