Package: liblockfile-simple-perl Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi! This package conflicts wiht perl-base. It ships an (empty) directory /usr/lib/perl/5.8, which violates the Perl Policy. /usr/lib/perl/5.8 is already installed by perl-base as a symlink to /usr/lib/perl/5.8.4. A quickfix is at http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/liblockfile-simple-perl.perl-base-conflict.diff however, you should rather change the build system to not create that directory in the first place. Just as a side note, this package is badly undermaintained. It has lots of lintian warnings (and an error which points out this bug, btw), lots of cruft in debian/, and an ancient Packaging Policy.
