Subject: Re: Debian perl old, perlmagick uninstallable

Sheepish retraction: was all my fault. The Debian perl maintainer got in
contact with me:

>> ... [5.8.4-8sarge5 has] been included in a point
>> release of stable (3.1r3). ... If you have 
>>     deb http://<mirror>/debian sarge main
>>     deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
>> ...

and my problem was that I have kept up-to-date on security, but have not
updated the "release" part.

(I wonder if it was just a coincidence that I got the message a few hours
after whingeing on FD...)
