Bug#15854 should be release-critical (was Re: buzz upgrade report)
It sounds like you are talking about Bug#15854. On 11 Dec 1997
the maintainer's response to the bug report included a patch to fix
it, which he said would be included in perl 5.004.04-4.
My rex system contains non-empty directories that trigger this
problem, but my bo system does not. I don't know if some bo systems
have them, or if all rex systems do. It may depend on the upgrade
history of a particular box.
As of last night, perl 5.004.04-4 was not on ftp.debian.org. I
believe this should be considered a release-critical bug, as it can
break the auto upgrade script, leaving a system in an unstable
state.
