Hi, repeating notes from along the way to make sure you're aware of these issues. They are collected at <http://wiki.debian.org/Perl5.10Transition>. - there are five more packages needing a binNMU, they are missing ${perl:Depends} http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/missing-dependency-on-perlapi.html Bugs have been filed, and I believe lasso was fixed today. - the packages needing binNMUs depend on each other for building. I cooked up a rebuild order for the binNMUs back in January, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2008/01/msg00218.html - it would be great if the build dependency loop with libxml-parser-perl (#458144, Cc'd) could be fixed first. I think it's by far the most significant problem for the binNMUs. - I don't really know how the perl on the buildds is going to be updated, but manual intervention may be required to favour debconf-english over debconf-i18n so as to keep the Essential:yes packages installed.
