I upgraded to potato, hoping to get access to all the fine stuff in the distro, but find I am stuck with Perl 5.004. Packages I want to install want 5.005. I want Perl 5.005. Why is it that apt left 5.004 behind? Is the reason logged somewhere? Is there something I missed that might do the upgrade? Do I have to ditch some packages that depend on 5.004? Why would dist-upgrade miss this?
Thanks for info! -- William Burrow -- New Brunswick, Canada Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into (Nick-les Worth). Which is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value. 9:06pm up 21:17, 8 users, load average: 1.02, 1.03, 1.00
