libdbd-pg-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.22.1 but it is not installable

[Jon Ole Nødtvedt]

On Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS I get the following message when trying to install libdbd-pg-perl through apt: "libdbd-pg-perl : Depends: perlapi-5.22.1 but it is not installable". This seems to be an issue with a dependency on perapi which is virtual package provided by perl-base therefore not installable.

Thanks for reporting.

I was unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 18.04. Looking at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libdbd-pg-perl, the package should have a dependency on perlapi-5.26.1 which is provided by perl-base. Could you please run `sudo apt update` and if the issue persists, post the output of `apt policy libdbd-pg-perl` ?

issue is still present

[Sam (samuel-hameau)]

perl-base is already the newest version (5.26.1-6ubuntu0.5).
Provides: libfile-path-perl, libfile-temp-perl, libio-socket-ip-perl, libscalar-list-utils-perl, libsocket-perl, libxsloader-perl, perlapi-5.26.0, perlapi-5.26.1

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

well, my bad, it seems to be a mirror issue.
