liberror-perl is missing from the repo.



I came across this when attempting to install amavisd-new. amavis depends on libmail-dkmi-perl which depends on liberror-perl. liberror-perl is missing from the repo.

liberror-perl is an "arch all" package and should run fine, so i added this to /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ports.debian.org_debian-ports_dists_sid_main_binary-all_Packages

Package: liberror-perl
Priority: optional
Section: perl
Installed-Size: 40
Maintainer: Clint Burfoot <clint@burfoot.info>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.17-1.2
Depends: perl

Description: Perl module for error/exception handling in an OO-ish way
 This module provides two interfaces.  Firstly "Error" provides a
 procedural interface to exception handling.  Secondly "Error" is a
 base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for
 subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded.
 .
 Errors in the class "Error" should not be thrown directly, but the
 user should throw errors from a sub-class of "Error".

Now amavis installs and runs fine. I came across a few other "arch all" packages that were missing, but i didn't add them as i had no need for them. Do this at your own risk, as missing packages typically mean they have issues!

However, with liberror-perl being a perl module i figured the repercussions would be minimal if any.


Is there are reason this package is missing, or was it simply missed? sparc64 isn't the only arch missing this package. arm64 for example has a old version listed that is no longer in the repo.
