Package: libgimp-perl Version: 2.0.dfsg+2.2pre1.dfsg-4+b1 Severity: normal Hi,
I noticed a problem during my upgrade to perl 5.10 today. (I had postponed the perl transition until now, waiting for a compatible version of libgimp-perl.) The new libgimp-perl package created these two (empty) directories: /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 These locations are in @INC and should normally be symlinks to "5.10.0", created by perl-base. I think it is a mistake that they are included as directories in libgimp-perl. (I hope I understand this correctly; I am not a perl expert.) I would like to add that this bug broke perl completely for me and I therefore had to manually restore the two symlinks to get debconf/dpkg working again. I cannot judge if this justifies a higher severity or if it was only an unfortunate coincidence for my particular timing of the perl transition. Thank you for your time. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-flo (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgimp-perl depends on: ii gimp 2.4.5-1+b1 The GNU Image Manipulation Program ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-1+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgimp2.0 2.4.5-1+b1 Libraries for the GNU Image Manipu ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2-perl 1:1.181-1+b1 Perl interface to the 2.x series o ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii pdl 1:2.4.3-6+b1 perl data language: Perl extension ii perl 5.10.0-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.1 5.10.0-10 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime libgimp-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
