Right, I just managed to prove that myself with the nice test case now referenced by #213652. I've reassigned #213652 to libxml-libxml-perl; if Ardo doesn't have time to deal with it (it's ITA) then I can probably NMU it. Are we generally agreed that the "right thing" here is to set a perl (>= 5.8.1) build dependency and install dependency, and then rebuild the package? This is basically what I did for libhtml-parser-perl last night, but in light of problems with various of other packages, I'm not entirely sure that this was the right solution. KEN -- Kenneth J.
