Bug#648936: liblocale-gettext-perl: Upgrade failure when invoked via dpkg doc-base trigger

[Roger Leigh]

Package: liblocale-gettext-perl
Version: 1.05-7+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: Causes dist-upgrade to abort

Preparing to replace perl-base 5.12.4-6 (using .../perl-base_5.14.2-3_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement perl-base ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for doc-base ...
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
dpkg: error processing doc-base (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
configured to not write apport reports
                                      Errors were encountered while processing:
 doc-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Most likely due to the current perl 5.12 → 5.14 transition.  Is a
pre-depends required here in order to not break dpkg triggers for
a wheezy upgrade?  This might require reassigning to the perl-base
package if that's where the problem lies.


Regards,
Roger
