Package: perl-base Version: 5.8.8-7 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
(I hesitated before settign the severity, please accept my apologies if you think it's overflated) While working on the future use of console-setup in D-I (to replace kbd+console-data, see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/ConsoleSetupSwitch), I found that, while console-setup depends on perl-base, it breaks with: Setting up console font and keymap... can't locate unicore/PVA.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 ... /usr/share/perl/5.8/usr/local/lib/site-perl .) at +/usr/share/perl/5.8/utf8_heavy.pl line 80 This seems to come from utf8_heavy.pl requiring unicore/PVA.pl.... As a possible fix, I suggest adding PVA.pl from perl-modules to perl-base (only 18k) Moving utf8_heavy.pl to perl-modules (which provides PVA.pl) does not seem correct as utf8_heavy.pl is itself required by /usr/share/perl/5.8.8/utf8.pm -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 (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/dash Versions of packages perl-base depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries perl-base recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
