Hi Frank, Can you confirm the version of perl and the version of each of the broken packages that you're seeing? And confirm that this is on a trusty box? My understanding is that Saucy is still on 5.14.x, and it's just trusty that's moved to 5.18.1.
I seem to have libdbi-perl installed and I've got libpurple0 installed; so exactly which packages are broken. ii perl 5.18.1-4build1 amd64 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language ** Changed in: perl (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254180 Title: Numerous dependencies broken due to Perl packaging update on Nov 2.
