Unfortunately, libdate-pcalc-perl has a few reverse dependencies:
aven'jon(~)> apt-cache rdepends libdate-pcalc-perl
libdate-pcalc-perl
Reverse Depends:
otrs2
otrs2
otrs2
libopensrs-perl
I don't want to support duplicate code (as it effectively doubles the
work of upgrading things), but at the same time, those old packages
need something to use.
We could, alternatively, just patch libopensrs-perl and otrs2 to use
the new (proper) libdate-calc-perl (possibly: libdate-calc-perl |
libdate-calc-xs-perl)
