Subject: Bug#3212: Perl recommends nonexistent packages

From: Ian Jackson <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 96 18:33 BST

Package: perl
Version: 5.002-7

>From unstable/binary-i386/Packages:
 Package: perl
 priority: important
 section: devel
 maintainer: Darren Stalder <[email-masked]>
 version: 5.002-7
 depends: libc5, libgdbm1, libdb1
 recommends: source | includes
 ...

`source' and `includes' don't exist any more.

I'd recommend that the Perl package be changed to refer to some more
appropriate package name.

It would be even better if the Perl package(s) could ship a
ready-h2ph'd set of .ph files.

Ian.

>appropriate package name.

Version 5.002-9 is ready to be uploaded and recommends libc5-dev.  I was
reading debian-devel to make sure that I didn't miss something nasty.

>ready-h2ph'd set of .ph files.

That's my plan for -10 but I wanted to make sure that I:
1) got a package into the release that had a correct Recommends
2) got it right
