Hm, I don't think so ...

Yes, and 1.05-6+b1 is the one rebuilt against perl 5.12:

$ apt-cache show liblocale-gettext-perl
[..]
Package: liblocale-gettext-perl
Source: liblocale-gettext-perl (1.05-6)
Version: 1.05-6+b1
Installed-Size: 104
Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2)
Pre-Depends: perl-base (>= 5.12.3-6), perlapi-5.12.3

That's i386 but it should be the same for amd64.

[The +bN versions are used for binNMUs (binary non-maintainer
uploads, i.e. automatic rebuilds against newer libraries etc.).
I don't know why there is a +b2 on powerpc and sparc.]


Looking through the bug report again, I realize that we haven't seen
the actual error output yet. Could you please run

apt-get -s dist-upgrade

and paste the output?

Starting aptitude's graphical interface might also help; maybe you
have some packages set to hold, or some locally installed or obsolete
packages, that still depend on perl5.10.

Cheers,
gregor
