This is expected at the moment; all the packages depending on
perlapi-5.10.0 and libperl5.10 will need rebuilding for the new perl,
which will of course happen once it hits unstable.

Until then, you *may* find my message to this mailing list earlier in
the week useful, but my unofficial rebuilds are really only for
developer testing, not real use, so I strongly recommend not using
them on any kind of non-throwaway environment.
