Package: perl Version: 5.8.8-12 Severity: wishlist It should be possible to have different perl versions installed in parallel.
This concerns also perl-base and perl-modules. Actually, postgresql-plperl-8.1 is going to be removed when upgrading perl to 5.10. This MUST NOT happen. The reason: libperl5.8 depends on perl-base (= 5.8.8-12) libperl5.10 depends on perl-base (= 5.10.0-13) The solution: perl, perl-base and perl-modules (maybe others) should have versioned names and corresponding metapackages. The dependencies in other packages have to reflect the changes as well. There are only a few files under /usr/bin which have to wrappers to alternatives. Am i wrong ?
