Package: libnet-perl
Version: 1:1.19-3
Severity: normal


Hello,

I'm not quite sure if this is the right thing to do, but there is a
Net::SMTP module in both libnet-perl and perl-modules. I attach a diff
that shows the difference, but in general, it would be nice if there'd
be less overlap between the packages.


Best,

Right, but the libnet-perl version is newer. *All* files in libnet-perl
are also included in perl-modules. This is known. The reason for this is
that libnet-perl is developed independently and we want to be able to
include newer versions without patching the (large) perl-modules
package.

This is not a bug, but a feature.
