Bug#625230: libfile-path-perl: uninstallable, obsoleted by perl

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libfile-path-perl
Version: 2.08-1
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-Cc: perl at packages.debian.org

perl-modules 5.12.3-6 Breaks: libfile-path-perl (<< 2.08.01), because
the core version (2.08_01) is newer than the CPAN one (2.08). This
makes the separate package uninstallable.

I see the Breaks entry could be looser, as the only core deviations from
2.08 are specific to VMS and Darwin.

 http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/c2c3358345e7fa3b89ecbd334f68d57057182d27
 http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/52bbce6d8fa698c93c0072230ffd19aba925088b

Still, the only collateral damage I can see with a few quick grep-dctrl
runs is

 libcipux-perl (#624304)
 liborlite-perl (at least Build-Depends-Indep, not sure if the Depends
                 entry works. No bug yet.)

so there doesn't seem to be much real benefit to loosening the Breaks
entry either.

I don't really mind either way.
