Are you still available to review a new version of amanda?  I have
acknowledge the NMU work and publish the last changes in collab-maint.

Hi Jose,

I'm afraid not - my interest in amanda was simply to make good the
late breakage caused by the perl transition (thanks to gregor for doing
that), and I won't have a chance to review the new release any time soon.

Best wishes,
Dominic.

That is very good.  Please do a NMU, and I will prepare a new release
after the NMU.  Better if you sponsor the new release.

Jose, could you please tell us about the status and your plans here?

Hi Jose,

In terms of an immediate uninstallability, would you be happy to have
an NMU with just the perl5 fix, until the new package can be reviewed and
sponsored? I'd be happy to do the former.

Apologies again for the late notice of this breakage.

Thanks,
Dominic.

Looks like the maintainer has a fix ready and is looking for a
sponsor:

Bug#808209: amanda-common: Depends on virtual package "perl5" which will is gone with perl/5.22

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: amanda-common
Version: 1:3.3.6-4
Severity: serious
Justification: package uninstallable
Control: tags -1 + patch sid

The perl 5.22 transition just started (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/12/msg5.html)
and we seem to have missed that this package depends on the deprecated
virtual package "perl5" like some other packages did.

The perl 5.22 packages don't provide perl5, making this package
uninstallable.

I'm sorry that we overlooked this prior to the unstable upload. Please
find attached a patch fixing this.
