Package: pcp
Version: 5.2.2-1.1
Severity: important
Attempting an `apt upgrade` on my bullseye system failed, due to improper
dependency info in the pcp package. The libpcp3 dependency has no version
constraints, and the new version of libpcp3 requires pulling in a new
version of perl, so `apt upgrade` left it out. This then resulted in the
attempt to restart the pcp service failing due to a missing symbol:

Since libpcp3 is coming into the deps via shlibs:Depends AFAICT, I'm
guessing this is then due to a symbol/versioning issue with libpcp3? In
this case the upgrade is from 5.2.0 to 5.2.2, FWIW.
