Package: libyaml-perl Version: 0.57-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.5
# apt-cache depends libyaml-perl
libyaml-perl
Depends: perl
Depends: <libclass-spiffy-perl>
Depends: <libtest-base-perl>
According to the upstream author, Test::Base is only needed to build the
module. The upstream author also doesn't mention Spiffy being needed.
If spiffy really is needed, it should depend upon libspiffy-perl as that
is already in Debian.
