Package: doc-base
Version: 0.10.2
Severity: serious

Hi,

I've made a dist-upgrade today of a 4 month old wheezy system and wanted
to upgrade it to the latest versions. The upgrade failed while
processing the doc-base trigger:

Trigger für doc-base werden verarbeitet ...
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/UUID/UUID.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von doc-base (--unpack):
Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 127 zurück
configured to not write apport reports

doc-base

This left my system in a completely broken state. Neither dpkg
proceed at this point:

# apt-get -f install

Do you have by chance fuller log from the installation? I can't
understand why doc-base trigger was started when its dependencies were
broken (doc-base depends on libuuid-perl, which in turn depends on
perl-base (>= 5.14.2-3)). Also I'm not sure why doc-base hadn't been
upgraded to 0.10.3 first.

perl-base 5.14.2-9 conflicts with doc-base (<< 0.10.3), and probably
that's why perl-base wasn't upgraded. But why apt can't see that
upgrading both perl-base and doc-base could solve the dependencies?

This is #652638 (cc'd), which has some analysis. I believe it doesn't
affect squeeze->wheezy upgrades. Quoting myself there:

Given this was only a transient sid problem in Debian, I'm leaving it
up to libuuid-perl maintainers (= other pkg-perl folks) to decide if
they want to include the above at all. I doubt there are many Debian
users that would be affected anymore, but it might be worth it just to
minimize the Ubuntu diffs.

BTW, I don't think this qualifies as release critical for Debian, as the
problematic trigger was only introduced in doc-base 0.10.0, and squeeze
has 0.9.5.
