libdigest-sha1-perl missing on precise

[Bruno Medeiros]

I need Digest/SHA1.pm. Being as this is provided by libdigest-sha1-perl (available in oneiric as well as upstream Debian Sid), I was going to install it directly from the Ubuntu repository:

$ sudo apt-get install libdigest-sha1-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libdigest-sha1-perl

Checking in packages.ubuntu.com shows that there's nothing wrong with my installation; the package itself is entirely absent from 12.04 in its current form.

I think it should be present.
