Package: libdatetime-perl Version: 2:0.5400-1 User: [email protected] Usertags: perl-5.12-transition
This arch:any package is an indirect build dependency of itself (through libdatetime-format-strptime-perl), which causes bootstrapping problems. In particular, when the Perl ABI changes incompatibly as it usually does between major versions, the package can't be updated to the new ABI with a simple binNMU because it is uninstallable. Package: libdatetime-perl Binary: libdatetime-perl Version: 2:0.5400-1 Architecture: any Build-Depends: [...], libdatetime-format-strptime-perl Package: libdatetime-format-strptime-perl Version: 1.1000-1 Architecture: all Depends: [...], libdatetime-perl (>= 2:0.4304), [...] See #517907 for the last time this caused problems. It looks like the build dependency on libdatetime-format-strptime-perl is only needed for test coverage. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
