Which one? I have no idea. When you start proposing your stuff I can remove these packages from perl_vendor. But I still don't get the point. Now you have one dependency: perl_vendor.

You need to bring this up when you ITP them. Because clashes are disallowed. You cannot provide the same files with different packages. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
