I don't think that's a bug in the perl package: the libshell-perl package is lagging behind in Debian as it's at 0.72 while CPAN and core have Shell 0.72_01. There's actually a meaningful doc fix in 0.72_01, see http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Shell-0.72&to=Shell-0.72_01&w=1 so Breaks: libshell-perl (<< 0.72.01) seems to be correct and ensures that the "buggy" 0.72 never overrides the "fixed" 0.72_01. The best solution AFAICS would be to upgrade the Debian package and keep the Breaks entry. (Normally we wouldn't need the separate package at all, but as Shell is going away from the core we need something to migrate to.) -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
