Hi Maxy,
this package existed and was removed in 2010, cf.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565418
https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2010/01/msg00021.html
CPAN has newer releases indeed but when I read the embedded POD at
https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Lite::FTP this stll looks sad.
Ah, #672236 also mentions the old discussions.
If I understand the situation correctly, Net::FTP::Lite is used in
backup-manager for FTP over SSL connections; that's a feature that
Net::FTP (in perl core) also has: https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::FTP
since (libnet) 1.28 / 2014-10-08:
https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/libnet
Checking /usr/share/perl/5.20.2/Net/FTP.pm (stable) and
/usr/share/perl/5.22.2/Net/FTP.pm (testing/unstable) confirms that
this in not in 5.20/stable but already in 5.22/testing.
I would suggest that backup-manager uses Net::FTP with its SSL
support.
Cheers,
gregor
