[Bug 891257] Re: doc-base fails to handle perl-base having been upgraded but libuuid-perl not

[Colin Watson]

perl (5.14.2-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update versioned Breaks for dual-lived modules with updates in
    5.14.2 (libmodule-corelist-perl, libencode-perl)
  * Update versioned Breaks for doc-base to << 0.10.3; this version
    improves the resilience of the postinst during a major perl upgrade
    (Closes: #648954)

Bug description:
  daily dist-upgrade in precise fails because perl is in an inconsistent
  state.

  Processing triggers for doc-base ...

  dpkg: error processing doc-base (--remove):

  I also see other errors earlier in the upgrade:

  Missing versioned Breaks or something?
