Bug#748996: Provides: libgd-gd2-perl, which is not (only) a virtual package

[Michael Tautschnig]

Package: libgd-perl
Version: 2.50-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Makes unrelated package FTBFS

The following fails, which is the reason why
libcgi-application-plugin-captcha-perl FTBFS:

# apt-get -f -s install libdata-random-perl libgd-securityimage-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libdata-random-perl : Depends: libgd-perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is caused by the fact that libgd-securityimage-perl depends on
libgd-gd2-perl, which libgd-perl claims to provide and replace (in the version
that's currently in the archive) -- while it does exist as a separate package.

I suppose libgd-gd2-perl is to be removed?

Best,
Michael
