Title:
Numerous dependencies broken due to Perl packaging update on Nov 2.
Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Apparently someone thought it a good idea to push out a new update for
Perl to 5.18.1 from 5.14.2 on November 2 of this year just days after
13.10 was released to the world.
Unfortunately, because whomever did this didn't think the thing
through and get all dependent packages corrected and out into the
repository, there are numerous differing packages that are just plain
flat broken at this point in time.
libdbi-perl
libxml-libxml-perl
libpurple
Because of this, you can't install
MySQL
X2Go Server
Pidgin
Probably very many more application packages are hosed at this point
in time. I've already reported part of this in two other reports, but
this is bad and they're all common so I'm merging them into this one.
