[07:41] <esmaeelE[m]> Hi there, I want to patch ubiquity but my debdiff contains non related lines.... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/2d272743dd99d1d083fdd485d1ebacbb4eae61f0)
[08:56] <mwhudson> death to the quadruple backslash! https://code.launchpad.net/~mwhudson/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd-rootfs/+merge/425047
[09:36] <cpaelzer> Hmm, is it a problem that libio-compress-perl is permanently (not a transition) provided by perl and by things like libperl5.26 and by src:libio-compress-perl?
[09:37] <cpaelzer> For most systems perl will be there, so it will almost never be installed. But if one does so explicitly will it suddenly do something else?
[09:37]  * cpaelzer is confused by perl dependencies ... :-/
[10:46] <cjwatson> cpaelzer: I think the idea is that the non-core version is installed only if a package explicitly depends on a version newer than what's in core.
[10:47] <cjwatson> Perl calls these "dual-life modules".
[10:47] <cjwatson> (might give you useful search terms)
[11:00] <cpaelzer> very interesting - thanks cjwatson that search term indeed shed the light I was looking for
[11:01] <cpaelzer> TIL :-)
[17:25] <enr0n> Can a core-dev please trigger the PPA autopkgtests listed in https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gH5NVm7WPN/? TIA.
