Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-28 Severity: wishlist * Package name : perlapi-5.6.1 Version : x.y.z Upstream Author : Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.some.org/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Description : PACKAGE perlapi-5.6.1 NOW MISSING IN SARGE
(Include the long description here.) perlapi-5.6.1 is a package that disappeared from the sarge distribution after rollout of perl 5.8.0 and needs to be re-created. Various packages like apt-file depend on it indirectly, and apt-get refuses to install them. Bug reports have been marked resolved, but they are not resolved. This needs to be a dummy package pointing to the components of perl 5.8.0 that satisfy the dependencies, or it just needs to be reinstated in the interest of backwards compatibility. --mark-- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux nutter.linuxdelivery.com 2.4.20 #1 SMP Fri Jun 27 17:48:13 PDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
