AAARGH!!!! You didn't say that these few changes would cause a dist-upgrade to remove half the system. There's no "Provides: perl5" in the transitional perl-5.6 package!!! Please, please, fix this by the next dinstall run. That will give people more than three days' notice to fix their packages! > Perl module packagers should note that the procedure for building > packages has changed.
