Package: libtest-simple-perl Version: 0.98-1 x-debbugs-cc: debian-p...@lists.debian.org
The Perl core packages contain the same version of Test::Simple as this package, so ideally we shouldn't ship this duplicate code in wheezy. I count 19 packages in sid that have a problematic build dependency on this package. This includes unconditional versioned dependencies like sd: libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.82) and conditional ones where the first alternative is not the perl package: libdata-optlist-perl: libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.96) | perl (>= 5.13.4) The libtest-pod-no404s-perl package is the only one with a problematic dependency in a binary package. These 19 packages would need to be fixed to read perl (>= xxx) | libtest-simple-perl (>= yyy) before libtest-simple-perl could be removed from wheezy. I'm not sure this is worth the effort and will not pursue it myself, but cc'ing the debian-perl list in case somebody else feels like picking this up. FWIW, all but the 'sd' package are maintained by the pkg-perl group.
