IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm is in libio-compress-zlib-perl (2.010).

debmirror depends on libcompress-zlib-perl;
libcompress-zlib-perl (at 2.010) depends on libio-compress-zlib-perl
(at 2.010) and libio-compress-base-perl (at 2.011 since yesterday).

libio-compress-base-perl (and libcompress-raw-zlib-perl, which is
needed by libio-compress-zlib-perl) don't depend on the others but it
looks like the depending packages have problems if the depended-upon
packages are newer.

(If you are reading this and your head hurts now be assured that mine
is not in the best shape either.)

The four modules are from the same author and are always released
together, and with the same version number (even if not all four have
changes).

After discussing this on IRC a solution seems to be to tighten the
dependencies from ">=" to "=" to ensure that all packages which
belong together are at the same version.

Cheers,
gregor
