--4w8O87+cHki+Hk5F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have uploaded Perl 5.42.2 to Debian unstable, starting a 600+ package transition. Wide uninstallability is to be expected in sid for the next few days until the necessary rebuilds have been completed. Please avoid unnecessary uploads of affected packages [1] until the transition is over and perl has migrated to testing. There is no need to submit bug reports about the uninstallability of related packages during this transition. See the "perldelta" document [2] for information on upstream changes since 5.40. I expect we will have another transition later in the forky cycle for the recently released Perl 5.44, but things are not ready for it quite yet. So it's safer to do these transitions one at a time.
