Since it first wasn't clear to me (and maybe others): There are two versions of Math::BigInt available in bookworm at the moment: - 1.999830 in perl-modules-5.36 - 1.999837 in libmath-bigint-perl Since 1.999837 breaks at least ipcalc, it may be better to remove libmath-bigint-perl 1.999837 from bookworm than releasing with a broken version. Since this means a fallback to 1.999830 from perl-modules-5.36, this should not be an issue. Greetings Roland
