Package: libconfig-general-perl
Version: 2.33-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi!
I hope reporting a grave bug is appropriate. Maybe I missed an important
point. Anyway here is what I experienced when upgrading:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads% sudo dpkg -i
libconfig-general-perl_2.31-3_all.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading libconfig-general-perl from 2.33-1 to 2.31-3.

Undefined subroutine &main::ParseConfig called at -e line 1.

I can reproduce this with 2.32-1 or 2.33-1 on amd64 testing and i386 etch.
Using the 'OOP way' described in `perldoc Config::General` the behavior
is similar.
As you can see I could easily work around this bug by downgrading.
Kind Regards,
Christopher Zimmermann
