Package: perl Version: 5.10.0-11 Severity: normal
For some unexplicable reason, the debian perl config tries to link -lgdbm and a few other libraries against each and every extension built via ExtUtils::MakeMaker (-lgdbm_compat and -lcrypt are the others). But libperl-dev lacks these depencies, so one has to install those manually. The right fix would be not to configure perl to link extensions against those librraies (it's simply not required to link them in). A stopgap measure would be to add correct dependencies to libperl-dev. -- 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 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages perl depends on: hi libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-10 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.10.0-11 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis ii perl-modules 5.10.0-11 Core Perl modules Versions of packages perl recommends: ii netbase 4.32 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii perl-doc 5.10.0-10 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
