I don't know what problem you are trying to solve and this doesn't make much sense to me unfortunately. In any case, depending on perlapi-5.30.0:any seems like a totally wrong concept: perlapi-5.30.0 is about guaranteeing binary compatibility between the perl interpreter and its plugins (compiled XS modules). Their architectures must therefore always match. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
