Bug#440527: libmath-pari-perl not currently buildable
HI Gunner,
Yes you are right libmath-pari-perl require crypt::dsa and
convert::pem, and convert:pem is in unstable now.
I have completed crypt::dsa also.But i am not in Bangalore ,( i am in
my native place) and checking my mails after a long time whenever i
will be in bangalore i will upload it to svn.
Thanks
Deepak
