Perl5 (Potato) ... [satan]
Hi,
just to make sure I'll be doing the right thing to upgrade to Perl5,
there's this package:
Package: perl
Version: 5.004.05-2
Priority: important
Section: interpreters
Maintainer: Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
Depends: perl-5.004, perl-5.004-doc
Conflicts: io
Provides: io
Replaces: io
[...]
Description: Fake package used for a smooth upgrade
This package depends on perl-5.004. Perl-5.005 will conflict
with perl so that all dependencies on perl will have to have
vanished before perl-5.005 will be installed...
Does it mean I have to install this package before any other perl
upgrade? Then, for a full perl upgrade:
Package: perl-5.004
Version: 5.004.05-3
Package: perl-5.004-base
Version: 5.004.05-3
Package: perl-5.005
Version: 5.005.03-4
Package: perl-5.005-base
Version: 5.005.03-4
Package: perl-base
Version: 5.004.05-1
Oh well, this doesn't look straight... probably the safest will be to do
an `apt-get install' of a package which requires perl5 and, theoretically,
apt will take care of installing all required packages. I'm thinking of
installing satan, so doing:
# apt-get install satan
should take care of upgrading all the above perl packages (roughly?).
Could anyone confirm this?
My current perl (slink) installation is:
perl 5.004.04-7
perl-base 5.004.04-7
then, some perl depending packages:
perl-suid 5.004.04-7
perl-tk 800.011-1
perlmagick 1.34-3
perlsgml 97.09.18-3
data-dumper 2.09-1
dpkg-perl 0.1-2hamm1
eperl 2.2.14-0.2
libgtk-perl 0.3-3
libmd5-perl 1.7-1
libnet-dns-perl 0.12-2
libnet-perl 1.0605-1
libtime-hires-p 1.16-1
libwww-perl 5.36-1
pgrep 1.09-2
TIA
