At some point in the distant past, slink's 'perl' was replaced by potato's 'perl5', to make future upgrades less of a hassle. > My question is... how can I tell apt-get to just ignore this majordomo > package and never tell me about it again?

Or you could replace majordomo. -- finger for GPG public key.
