Package: perl Version: 5.8.4-5 Severity: wishlist
Debian is the only major distribution that does not ship util-linux's rename command. In order to fix this bug (#228737), rename must first be dropped from perl. The util-linux maintainer writes policy limits us to one 'rename' command, and the perl one got there first. Amazing. I cannot imagine that compatibility with most other GNU/Linux distributions should be less important than who's first? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-17 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.8.4-5 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii perl-modules 5.8.4-5 Core Perl modules -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
