Source: libdevel-nytprof-perl
Version: 2.10-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

There was an error while trying to autobuild your package:

> Automatic build of libdevel-nytprof-perl_2.10-1 on excelsior by sbuild/amd64 98
> Build started at 20090705-1305

[...]

> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), perl (>= 5.6.10-12), libtest-pod-perl, quilt, zlib1g-dev, libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.82)

[...]

> dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.82)

The problem is that libtest-simple-perl is both a real package,
and a virtual package provided by perl-modules.  You can't have
a versioned depedency on virtual package.

Maybe perl-modules shouldn't provide libtest-simple-perl?
