IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm is in libio-compress-zlib-perl (2.010). debmirror depends on libcompress-zlib-perl; libcompress-zlib-perl (at 2.010) depends on libio-compress-zlib-perl (at 2.010) and libio-compress-base-perl (at 2.011 since yesterday). libio-compress-base-perl (and libcompress-raw-zlib-perl, which is needed by libio-compress-zlib-perl) don't depend on the others but it looks like the depending packages have problems if the depended-upon packages are newer. (If you are reading this and your head hurts now be assured that mine is not in the best shape either.) The four modules are from the same author and are always released together, and with the same version number (even if not all four have changes). After discussing this on IRC a solution seems to be to tighten the dependencies from ">=" to "=" to ensure that all packages which belong together are at the same version. Cheers, gregor ~~~~~~~~~ Dependency chain regarding the 4 modules: libcompress-raw-zlib-perl (any): - libio-compress-base-perl (all): - libio-compress-zlib-perl (all): libcompress-raw-zlib-perl (>= 2.011), libio-compress-base-perl (>= 2.011) libcompress-zlib-perl (all): libio-compress-zlib-perl (>= 2.011), libio-compress-base-perl (>= 2.011) -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : debian gnu/linux user, admin & developer - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `- NP: cranberries: when you're gone
