Package: libconfig-general-perl Version: 2.33-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi! I hope reporting a grave bug is appropriate. Maybe I missed an important point. Anyway here is what I experienced when upgrading: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads% sudo dpkg -i libconfig-general-perl_2.31-3_all.deb dpkg - warning: downgrading libconfig-general-perl from 2.33-1 to 2.31-3.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads% perl -w -e 'use Config::General; my $conf = ParseConfig("/dev/null");' Undefined subroutine &main::ParseConfig called at -e line 1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads% I can reproduce this with 2.32-1 or 2.33-1 on amd64 testing and i386 etch. Using the 'OOP way' described in `perldoc Config::General` the behavior is similar. As you can see I could easily work around this bug by downgrading.
