20 These two worked just fine, BUT
21
22 > perl-cleaner --all
23
24 fails miserably showing many blocks mentioning versions which are not
25 in the (unstable) tree
26 like, e.g.
27
28 perl-core/File-Spec-3.480.0 (and 28 more of those)
29
30 Typically there is virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.0 which requires
31 perl-core/File-Spec
32 of the same version, but (here) there is only
33 perl-core/File-Spec-3.400.0
34
35 I wonder how all of you could get around this?
36
37 Many thanks for your help,
38 Helmut
