	OK! I'm not missing any package, i'm just having a problem with
versions of things.

	I have libdbd-mysql-perl installed wich is expecting
libmysqlclient.so.4 and i have libmysqlclient.so.6. The newest version
is compiled to potato and so it depends on perl5.

	My question now is, how do i change the control file so that it depends
on perl (>= 5.004.xx)?

	Thanks
