And there: #v+ $ grep -r Text::Query scripts/ scripts/osm/perl_lib/Geo/Gpsdrive/getstreet.pm:use Text::Query; #v- If I'm not mistaken, the module is loaded once and never used ... So this looks like a problem can be solved differently than by removing the whole source package :) libtext-querysql-perl is probably more difficult, since it just extends libtext-query-perl; OTOH it has no rdeps ...
