Thanks. I've filed #912900 about this on the Perl side. Christoph: please use these workarounds at least for now. Apologies for the trouble. Also, please let us know at p...@packages.debian.org when a workaround is in Debian. We can then add dependency metadata on the perl side to make sure apt-show-versions gets always upgraded before perl. Longer term, I'm not sure Storable is the best tool for this (a cache of apt list contents.) AFAICS you're reading the whole data structure in memory even when you need just one entry? You might want to look at the various Cache / CHI modules, or even just plain GDBM_File. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
