We can't manage something like that, we must switch to perl-5.005 right now. Developers can install perl-5.005, compile their package, upload them and then remove perl-5.005 again until everything is upgraded. Or, FYI : [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg -l perl-5.005 ii perl-5.005 5.005.03-0.8 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo apt-get -f install Password: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 106 not upgraded. I simply edited by hand /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the conflicts to perl in 5.005 status information ... :) Simple but effective hack.
