Package: libcompress-zlib-perl Version: 2.015-1 Severity: wishlist Perl 5.10.1 RC2 bundles Compress::Zlib 2.020 as part of IO-Compress.
This means that the separate libcompress-zlib-perl package will become uninstallable when perl 5.10.1 enters sid. The uninstallability will also break versioned reverse dependencies: filterproxy libimage-size-perl libpar-packer-perl mailscanner because versioned dependencies are not satisfied by provided packages. It seems clear to me that this package has to be removed, possibly in favour of libio-compress-perl if we want to keep that as a separate package (see #538214). So the packages listed above need to be changed. All of these versioned dependencies would be satisfied by Perl 5.10.0 already, so they should instead be something like Depends: perl (>= 5.10) | libcompress-zlib-perl (>= X) which allows for libcompress-zlib-perl removal but keeps any Etch backporters happy. I'll clone and reassign the four bugs and mark them as blocking this one. Setting the severity to 'wishlist' for now, but it's definitely going to upgraded later. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
