Apt-get removing perl libraries
I'm running Debian SID and normally update packages daily. The last update
removed ten perl libraries and about 90 other packages dependent on them.
I have two questions: Is there any thing I can do to fix this, or is it
something that I just have to wait for? Second, if this is a know problem,
how could I have found that out without asking on this mailing list? TIA.
Here's what happens when I try to re-install those libraries (Note that I
have perl 5.8.1-1 installed):
-> apt-get install libfinance-quote-perl libhtml-format-perl libhtml-tree-perl
libnet-perl libnet-ph-perl libwww-perl libxml-grove-perl libxml-parser-perl
libxml-perl libxml-twig-perl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
