I've gotten feedback. They were not aware of the issue because they haven't tested WebGUI with 5.22. They will be reviewing the actual dependency to see if it is indeed needed or not. Perhaps we coud wait a week or so before removing the packages. -- Prof. Ernesto Hernández-Novich - MYS-220C - @iamemhn Geek by nature, Linux by choice, Debian of course.

I'm cc'ing the maintainer, Ernesto > Hernández-Novich. Ernesto, what do you think we should do with > libpoe-api-peek-perl ? Should webgui get removed as well? webgui has never been part of any stable release. WebGUI's upstream has been very slow for the last year or so, with only a couple of releases. The latest release, about a month and a half ago, still lists POE::Component::IKC as a dependency and it's used for a core workflow component -- it requires 0.2001 I've written upstream about their thoughts on the issue. I've no particular opinion on what to do with libpoe-api-peek-perl -- I certainly don't know how to fix it. If removal is the sane choice, go ahead and remove both. -- Prof. Ernesto Hernández-Novich - MYS-220C - @iamemhn Geek by nature, Linux by choice, Debian of course.
