version.pm is part of perl-modules and there is an unfortunate bug in
the Conflicts:

Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.0-10
Replaces: libversion-perl
Provides: libversion-perl
Conflicts: libversion-perl (<< 1:0.7400-2)

That should be << 1:0.7400-3 as we have -2 already in the archive. Or
even better, <<1:0.7401, as the version of perl-modules-provided
version.pm is 0.7400

Reassigning to perl-modules and bumping the urgency to important as this
affects upgrades from Etch.


Giacomo, you can safely remove libversion-perl when upgrading perl to
5.10.
