Title:
  [noble] two versions of perl-modules are published, breaking
  pbuilder/debootstrap

Status in perl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in perl source package in Noble:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For the last two weeks, building noble VM images for our CI has been
  broken. Most of it was uninstallability due to the xz reset, but for
  the last three days, `pbuilder --create` has failed [2] because it
  gets perl and perl-modules-5.38 in two different versions:

  2024-04-08 08:47:08 URL:http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-base_5.38.2-3.2build2_amd64.deb [1822564/1822564] -> "/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache//perl-base_5.38.2-3.2build2_amd64.deb" [1]
  2024-04-08 08:47:09 URL:http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-modules-5.38_5.38.2-3_all.deb [3110080/3110080] -> "/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache//perl-modules-5.38_5.38.2-3_all.deb" [1]

  and then trying to configure the packages blows up. The root cause is
  that perl-modules has *two* versions published:


  # curl -s http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz|xzgrep -A5 'Package: perl-modules-'
  Package: perl-modules-5.38
  Architecture: all
  Version: 5.38.2-3.2build2
  Multi-Arch: foreign
  Priority: optional
  Build-Essential: yes
  --
  Package: perl-modules-5.38
  Architecture: all
  Version: 5.38.2-3
  Multi-Arch: foreign
  Priority: optional
  Build-Essential: yes

  While apt is clever enough to pick the right one, debootstrap isn't.
  Can you please remove the old perl-modules-5.38 5.38.2-3 from noble?

  Thanks!
