Package: dh-make-perl Version: 0.14 Severity: important
When creating a bunch of packages that depend on eachother, using dh-make-perl with apt-file installed, each of the packages install the following file: /usr/lib/perl/5.8/perllocal.pod ...which is _not_ supposed to be _installed_, but instead _updated_ by appending some installation info about the package in question. When installing these broken packages, the following error messages are displayed: ==================================8<------------------------------ $ apt-get install liblingua-stem-perl Reading Package Lists...
