Ok. If I explicitly remove libarchive-tar-perl, then the new perl 5.10 packages will install without issue.

[Popa Adrian Marius (mapopa)]

seems to be fixed in debian

this bug was present when i tried to do an dist-upgrade from hardy to intrepid by replacing in apt/sources.list

but with upgrade manager upgrade worked until the end

Debian resolution looks correct. perl-modules 5.10+ needs to conflict/replace libarchive-tar-perl.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

confirming, as I've seen this myself as well.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hm... actually it should work imho, but it doesn't. Currently perl has a versioned replaces against libarchive-tar-perl (against a later version than found in hardy), but still I got the error. *confused*.

Fixed in version 1.38-3~etch1+rm
