I'm running Debian SID and normally update packages daily. The last update removed ten perl libraries and about 90 other packages dependent on them.
I have two questions: Is there any thing I can do to fix this, or is it something that I just have to wait for? Second, if this is a know problem, how could I have found that out without asking on this mailing list? TIA. Here's what happens when I try to re-install those libraries (Note that I have perl 5.8.1-1 installed): -> apt-get install libfinance-quote-perl libhtml-format-perl libhtml-tree-perl libnet-perl libnet-ph-perl libwww-perl libxml-grove-perl libxml-parser-perl libxml-perl libxml-twig-perl Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libfinance-quote-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhtml-tableextract-perl but it is not going to be installed libhtml-format-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed libhtml-tree-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhtml-parser-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhtml-tagset-perl (>= 3.02) but it is not going to be installed libnet-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed libnet-ph-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed libwww-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libdigest-md5-perl Depends: libmime-base64-perl (>= 2.1) or perl (>= 5.8) but it is not going to be installed Depends: liburi-perl (>= 1.10) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhtml-parser-perl (>= 2.20) but it is not going to be installed libxml-grove-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed libxml-parser-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.8.0-19) but it is not going to be installed Depends: liburi-perl but it is not going to be installed libxml-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be installed libxml-twig-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.8.0-21) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Any help appreciated. -- Victor R.
