    I'm running Debian SID and normally update packages daily. The last update
    removed ten perl libraries and about 90 other packages dependent on them.

    I have two questions: Is there any thing I can do to fix this, or is it
    something that I just have to wait for? Second, if this is a know problem,
    how could I have found that out without asking on this mailing list? TIA.

    Here's what happens when I try to re-install those libraries (Note that I
    have perl 5.8.1-1 installed):
    -> apt-get install libfinance-quote-perl libhtml-format-perl libhtml-tree-perl
    libnet-perl libnet-ph-perl libwww-perl libxml-grove-perl libxml-parser-perl
    libxml-perl libxml-twig-perl
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... 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:
      libfinance-quote-perl: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) but it is not going to be
    installed

    going to be installed
