Package: libapt-pkg-perl
Version: 0.1.20
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I can't install the package in subject because the virtual package
libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 isn't installable (or better, package apt
provides libapt-pkg-libc6.5-6-4.4 but not libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11).
Thanks,
Andrea

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapt-pkg-perl: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 but it is not
installable

There has already been a maintainer upload of this package against the
unstable version of apt, so this looks to me like it's resolved.
