Package: libpalm-perl Version: 1.3.0-6 Severity: serious This package tries to overwrite /usr/bin/pdbdump when building. Fortunately this usually fails when building with fakeroot, and the issue has gone unnoticed because ExtUtils::Install in Perl 5.8.8 ignores the failure.
With Perl 5.10.0 (currently in experimental), the failure makes the package fail to build from source. Please use /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor instead of INSTALLDIRS=perl and don't specify the all the install directories when calling 'make pure_install'.
