Bug#279232: should pre-depend on perl-modules>=5.8

[Henning Glawe]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.6.1-13
Severity: critical

apt-get dist-upgrade (woody->sarge) fails because the an old gnome-control-center used
perl-modules in its maintainer-scripts:

Preparing to replace gnome-control-center 1:1.4.0.5-3 (using .../gnome-control-center_2.6.1-13_i386.deb) ...
Can't locate File/Basename.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr
/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 17.
dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: error processing /src/deb/debian/pool/main/c/control-center/gnome-control-center_2.6.1-13_i386.deb (--unpack):
 there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up

which makes the whole dist-upgrade fail.
So it is more a bug in the update path from version 1:1.4.0.5-3 to 1:2.6.1-13 than a real bug in 1:2.6.1-13
