Details

The version of the perl-datetime depends must be changed. Removing the last two digits will probably fix it. Pacman has problems comparing the version because perl-datetime has currently only 2 digits in its version.

Roman: Also, assign this task to Firmicus in case he has time.

Hi, Is there a workaround for this ?
I have just revived an old retired box and issued a pacman -Syu.
This updated pacman but now when I run a pacman -Syu I get the following problem:
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "perl-datetime>=0.1705", a dependency of "perl-datetime-format-mail"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: perl-datetime-format-mail: requires perl-datetime>=0.1705

I have removed both perl-datetime & perl-datetime-format-mail and built them from aur and get the same problem.

Mmm... I thought I had fixed this long ago. Actually it is in my local copy of the cvs tree, but obviously this change was not commited. I'll do it now.
