fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) io-stringy-pm560: Perl module for advanced I/O with filehandles
Since I wish to install soap-lite-ssl for Perl 5.8.1 and it seems to be a versioned perl modules, should this not imply that I want to install io-stringy-pm581 as well since I would want io-stringy to match the Perl version I am installing the main module for ? As I will admit to know little about our Perl handling, please enlighten me and show me the path to wisdom :)
Looks like there's stuff depending on io-stringy-pm instead of io-stringy-pm5XX. I've fixed the two I maintain, I'm cc'ing the maintainer of the other 2 packages that do so (rtf-tokenizer-pm and rtf-parser-pm).
I'm not sure if my modules are supposed to be versioned, and I'm not sure if io-stringy is supposed to be versioned. If io-stringy is not, I'm going to wait to see if it's going to be changed.
In other words, I'm thinking about the problem but not doing anything about it right away.
Please consult the packaging manual.
It is no longer permitted to have a "placeholder" -pm package which depends on versioned packages. The only exception is storable-pm, because of the historical way it is used during bootstrapping.
Whoever added such a package, please don't do it again.
Me. Check the CVS logs and you'll see how many times your policy has changed since then.
