Nobody knows what to say to it :/

 In the bug logs I see some proposals regarding the perl dependencies
 and Frank's last mail which suggests that the problem is probably fixed
 but not yet confirmed as such.

No, it is not fixed AFAIK and there were objections to the proposal
of changing the dependencies (e.g. by vorlon, IIRC)...

 I'm not sure how to do that but I just created a woody chroot, installed
 libglib1.2-dev and then dist-upgraded to sarge. Worked fine at least. :)
 If I have to confirm a more special scenario, just tell, I can quickly
 rsync the chroot back to Woody.

It's not that simple. The following list of installed packages is known
to give you the effect:
http://www.lichtenheld.de/debian/perlupdate.installed

 BTW: Maybe this bug should be retitled, too, as it the bug seems to be
  some race-condition between the installation of perl and doc-base?

Yeah, feel free to do that. And to reassign it to perl as doc-base
doesn't really have anything to do with the problem, it just points it
out...

Gruesse,

Hmm. So if you were unable to reproduce it, maybe it's the right thing 
to tag it as unreproducible and lower the severity?  If not, I would 
take other suggestions on how to fix it.

Yes, the bug title is clearly wrong; this bug has nothing to do with
libglib1.2-dev, except that libglib1.2-dev is one of the packages that *can*
fail when calling install-docs.

It's certainly not unreproducible.  One of the release assistants also
followed up to this bug noting that he had seen the problem; and the
underlying cause has been analyzed and is definitely still present, we're
just missing a fix for the problem.
