I disagree. The package breaks first, then an apt post-invoke hook calls debsums regardless of the failure or the state of the debsums dependencies. > I've attached the full dist-upgrade log. Marking this as critical, as > perl is breaking unrelated software (debsums, dpkg postinst scripts..). debsums is written in perl so it's certainly not unrelated software. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
