New comment by heliocat on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/21483#issuecomment-775307481 Comment: The issue with perl-Test-Simple is that the perl package directly provides perl-Test-Simple at an earlier revision number (perl-Test-Simple-1.302175_1 vs. perl-Test-Simple-1.302175_2). So xbps wants to remove perl when installing perl-Test-Simple. The remove error on perl-Net-SSLeay is because it is apparently the only perl package to depends on perl>=5.32.0_1 instead of perl>=0. If you force remove perl-Net-SSLeay you can see this installing flip in action: ``` $ sudo xbps-remove -F perl-net-SSLeay $ sudo xbps-install perl-Test-Simple Name Action Version New version Download size perl remove 5.32.1_1 - - perl-Test-Simple install - 1.302175_2 190KB $ sudo xbps-install perl Name Action Version New version Download size perl-Test-Simple remove 1.302175_2 - - perl install - 5.32.1_1 - ``` The two packages install the test code into different places (core_perl/Test[2] vs vendor_perl/Test[2]) but collide at the man page level. It's probably fine to drop perl-Test-Simple since it's internal to the main perl package already.
