Arch devs (forum down per-antiz)
After update this morning, pacman reports:
(12/15) Checking for old perl modules...
WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/5.42' contains data from at least 1 packages
which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter.
-> Run the following command to get a list of affected packages:
pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.42'
Okay, not unusual, just need to uninstall and old package that is
hanging around:
$ pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.42'
perl-crypt-ssleay
Okay
# pacman -R perl-crypt-ssleay

Hmm, not normal anymore, removing the packages will remove (optional)
dependencies for perl-libwww and xscreensaver. I don't need them, so
I'll go ahead a remove them -- but I was surprised that it would removed
optional dependencies from a currently installed package.
Is this still normal or is perl-crypt-ssleay a special old case that
needs to be removed?
