libgd-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.6.1 but it is not installable
Hi.
I'm fairly new to debian 'testing'.
Trying to install perl-related software, I recieve a chain of unmet
dependences that seems to conclude at:
wallace:~# apt-get install libgd-perl
[...]
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgd-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.6.1 but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
I have perl 5.8 installed, though:
wallace:~# dpkg -l '*perl*' |grep '^ii'
ii libperl5.8 5.8.0-17 Shared Perl library.
ii perl 5.8.0-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and
Report
ii perl-base 5.8.0-17 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish
Lister.
ii perl-modules 5.8.0-17 Core Perl modules.
If I understand correctly the FAQs, it's normal to have such a kind of
broken packages in testing (in fact I see that libgd-perl is marked
uninstallable, and perlapi unavailable). So, probably I'm not supposed to
file a bug-report (?).
My question is: is there a way to use in testing bioperl, med-bio and all
those packages that depend on libgd-perl?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated :-))
