I guess (there are several alternatives with ipv6 involved) that refers to: Build-Depends-Indep: libio-socket-inet6-perl | libio-socket-ip-perl (>= 0.11), Recommends: libio-socket-ip-perl (>= 0.11) | libio-socket-inet6-perl, In my understanding, libio-socket-ip-perl is newer, preferred by upstream, and supports both IPv4 and IPv6. So the Recommends makes more sense to me than the B-D-I. Not sure about the difference between build and runtime deps; those lines changed several lines in the recent git historiy :) Salvatore, do you still remember the reason for c622141? | Interchange build-dependency for libio-socket-inet6-perl | | -Build-Depends-Indep: libio-socket-ip-perl (>= 0.11) | libio-socket-inet6-perl, | +Build-Depends-Indep: libio-socket-inet6-perl | libio-socket-ip-perl (>= 0.11), Ah, I think libio-socket-ip-perl was too old (i.e. 0.11 not yet uploaded) at the time of the change?
