Package: perl-base Version: 5.24.0-1 User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Usertags: perl-5.24-transition
As discussed in #825116, texinfo (<< 6.1.0.dfsg.1-8) was missing a dependency on perlapi-* but had one on libperl5.x. As libperl5.xx packages are coinstallable between different versions since 5.22, this makes it possible to upgrade from Perl 5.22 to 5.24 without pulling in a rebuilt texinfo, causing binary incompatibility issues. So the perl-base 5.24 variants needs to Break older versions of texinfo to ensure partial upgrades pull in a newer one. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
