Package: pcp Version: 5.2.2-1.1 Severity: important Attempting an `apt upgrade` on my bullseye system failed, due to improper dependency info in the pcp package. The libpcp3 dependency has no version constraints, and the new version of libpcp3 requires pulling in a new version of perl, so `apt upgrade` left it out. This then resulted in the attempt to restart the pcp service failing due to a missing symbol:
