Perl packages LIE - Depends: perl (>= 5.8
Where does this tendency to lie comes from?
this undermines reliability and honesty of dependancy system, one
cannot trust this system if it's so widely abused. Why do poeple do that?
AFAIK another such wide-spread lie in dependancy system is the one about
libc, IIRC there is good ( for some at least ) reason for that - something
to do with forcing update to newer libc, which otherwise everyone would
just ignore.
Where does this perl (>= 5.8) come from then?
