Not that I am complaining because security updates are always good, but
how exactly did perl 5.6.1-8.2 make it into testing sometime in the last
couple of days? It didn't come from unstable, because unstable moved to
perl 5.8.0 a while ago, and I didn't know that there /was/ any other way
for updated software to make its way into testing. It appears to have
originally been a stable security update from the end of November. For
it to just now make it to testing implies that someone made a special
effort to upload it, but noone cares about security updates for testing,
right? This is just an abject curiosity question to see if anyone can
explain the mystery...
Are you *sure* it came from testing? 'apt-cache policy perl-base' will
tell you. It is in security.d.o, and this has caused a bunch of
problems for sarge users :/
