Package: perl Version: 5.8.8-7 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This belongs in both perl and libcgi-fast-perl really. When I upgraded perl to the version from etch, as part of a piecemeal upgrade of the system to etch, a new version of libcgi-fast-perl was not pulled in. Because this package is built from the main perl source package, it lived in /usr/share/perl/5.8.4 which is not in the new perl's @INC. Obviously this broke the modules entirely. Either (or both) perl should conflict with libcgi-fast-perl < 5.8.8 or libcgi-fast-perl should conflict on perl >= 5.8.9. The former could be applied in a point release to stable, and would prevent the breakage from occuring on this particular upgrade (sarge->etch).
