Bug Description

Binary package hint: libb-size-perl

Package is dead upstream (last release in 2006), FTBFS with Perl 5.10 and an upstream bug is unanswered in almost a year.

http://rt.cpan.org:80/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=33471

Currently the package is uninstallable and can't be rebuilt.

The package has no rdepends.

My recommendation is remove, but don't blacklist as the only way this package will see a new upload in Debian is if the FTBFS is fixed (the Debian maintainer filed the upstream FTBFS bug).
