Perl 5.24 transition underway

news · September 24, 2016

Yesterday[0] I uploaded Perl 5.24 to Debian unstable, starting a 500+ 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 against perl about the uninstallability of related

packages during this transition.

See the "perldelta" document [2] for information

on upstream changes since 5.22.

Cheers,

Dominic.
