Package: perl Version: 5.8.7-4 Severity: normal Every once in a while an upgrade of perl unistalls perl-doc. This really annoys me. From my point of view I'd either package them onto one package, or completely disconnect them, or I don't care, but this is very annoying.
1. I don't know why every packager requires the very bleeding edge of things for his package instead of real dependencies. With this custom, there is no point to use a package manager that knows about versions. 2. But because this is done in all debian packages with no reason, if one installs a package that depends on perl in sid, it will most probably, almost surely upgrade perl. 3. And remove perl-doc. 4. And I get crazy. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2-amd-adaptec-nfs Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-19 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.8.7-4 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii perl-modules 5.8.7-4 Core Perl modules Versions of packages perl recommends: ii perl-doc 5.8.7-4 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
