Package: perl Version: 5.10.0-9 Severity: wishlist Locale::Gettext is used by many scripts/modules to provide localized strings to the user. Those scripts are used in package configuration scripts (postinst, preinst, postrm, prerm, config) and they should always work when possible... even when perl is being upgraded to a new perl with an incompatible XS ABI.
To offer such a guaranty, the nicest solution is to provide the module in the same package than the perl binary itself. Hence it should become part of perl-base in Debian and should be part of core modules at the upstream level. Please discuss this on p5p with upstream and if they agree to do it for the next upstream release, please consider doing it right now as a temporary fork so that we can see if it helps with the upgrade problems described in http://bugs.debian.org/479220 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-8 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.10.0-9 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii perl-modules 5.10.0-9 Core Perl modules Versions of packages perl recommends: ii netbase 4.32 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii perl-doc 5.10.0-9 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
