So here's a link to the new wmanager version on mentors.d.n; it seems that you did the last upload last year, would you have a minute to take a look at it? http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmanager/wmanager_0.2.1-13.dsc If you don't, then no problem, I can send an RFS to -mentors, see if somebody bites :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@freebsd.org p...@storpool.com PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Ah, right. Thanks for catching this anyway!
Actually, this change (or rather, a better one: using ${perl:Depends} :))
is something that I already have in some unreleased changes to the wmanager
package; I believe that this will be a nice reason to actually upload the
updated one. This should happen in a couple of days.
Thanks for all your work on Perl in/and/or Debian!
G'luck,
Peter

Bug#808327: wmanager: Depends on virtual package "perl5" which will is gone with perl/5.22
Package: wmanager
Version: 0.2.1-12
Severity: serious
Justification: package uninstallable
Tags: sid patch
User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.22-transition
The perl 5.22 transition recently 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 below a patch fixing this. Let me know if you'd like this
to be NMUed without further delay.

A point in time which is closer to "now" than "in a couple of days" would be helpful for the perl transition :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
