Package: perl Version: 5.14.2-6 Severity: normal User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
piuparts found a perl related upgrade issue while testing upgrades from
squeeze to wheezy, package: libgraphics-magick-perl.
The problem happens during the upgrade of libwmf0.2-7, the old prerm
calls defoma app which fails:

[... thereafter distupgrade terminates without even trying to update

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libwmf0.2-7_0.2.8.4-10_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
File::Copy gets moved while perl-modules is updated, but the new
location is not used before perl-base is updated. Inbetween defoma-app
may not be used.
While this could be worked around libwmf0.2-7 by adding a dummy postrm,
jchristau thinks it's better to fix this in perl and/or defoma:
<jcristau> anbe: if we can find a fix in perl or defoma instead i think
that'd be better
<jcristau> rather than finding all packages that might possibly call
defoma-app in the middle of the perl upgrade
So I try assigning this to perl first, perhaps an appropriate
Breaks: defoma (<< $squeeze+1)
or other fix can be added to one of the perl packages.
OTOH, defoma-app from squeeze works again fine with perl-5.14 once this
is installed completely.
