Ubuntu 10.04.3
genders 1.13-2
libgenders-perl 1.13-2
As a workaround, you can install libgenders0-dev and get the necessary
library symlink, or make /usr/lib/libgenders.so.0, which points to
libgenders.so.0.2.0.
(You also need to install libgenders0-dev to get the genders(3) man
page, which describes the /etc/genders file format.)
