It is clear I am not understanding something here. I'm not sure either. Perhaps the libdigest-sha-perl package was introduced at some point in the past when Digest::SHA was not yet included in the perl package itself. If you absolutely must get to the bottom of this, try asking on the #debian-perl IRC channel or the debian-perl mailing list. -- regards, kushal pgp5oRBJOEJFJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

It is clear I am not understanding something here. Not sure what you're looking for, but let me try to explain: debmirror Depends: libdigest-sha-perl. From the output above it seems that on your system the dependency is satisfied by the Provides: libdigest-sha-perl of package perl, so there is no reason to have the real package libdigest-sha-perl installed. dpkg can't tell anything about the libdigest-sha-perl package because it's not installed on your system.
