Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2006 10:57:38 +1000 From: Paul Szabo <psz@...hs.usyd.edu.au> To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Debian perl old, perlmagick uninstallable [Wrote to the Debian perl and perlmagick maintainers a couple of days ago, but no response. Maybe unrelated, but also no response to the ftpd bug http://bugs.debian.org/384454 in a couple of weeks; and of course Debian default permissions are broken as per policy after a couple of years, http://bugs.debian.org/299007 and http://bugs.debian.org/384922. Is Debian response going the way of Microsoft?] Currently package perlmagick is uninstallable on stable/sarge, because perl is old: I guess perl should be updated to 5.8.4-8sarge5 everywhere. The file http://security.debian.org/dists/sarge/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz contains > Package: perlmagick > Version: 6:6.0.6.2-2.7 > Depends: perl (>= 5.8.4-8sarge4) ... though it only contains > Package: perl > Version: 5.8.4-8sarge3 I also note that http://packages.debian.org/stable/perl/perl shows just "Package: perl (5.8.4-8sarge5)", whereas http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=perl&searchon=names&version=stable&release=all shows both 5.8.4-8sarge5 and 5.8.4-8sarge3.
