A better approach could be a provides in perl-base (and perl) about which version are correctly supported, ie the following provides for perl-base : perl-base = 2:5.8.0 perl-base = 2:5.6.1 perl-base = 2:5.6.0 So that gaim will not be removed again, the same is problably needed for perl too. I let Pixel decide if he wants this, maybe I missed something about that. Fran�ois.
