And that is here relevant how?  A dependency was pulled out by an update of a
perl package without making a dependant "obsolete".

If you will look more carefully then this report is really about that
perl-PlRPC
was NOT removed and this is causing serious update problems.  The package
itself was pulled in by some dependencies in the past, now I cannot tell really
why, and surely not installed on its own merits.  If an update would really
removed it you would not see any bug report about it.

So you propose that in case of update troubles an end user should wade through
old archives of some mailing list on an off-chance that s/he will find there
something which will shed some ligth?  You cannot be serious.

As you can find out from the report I managed to go around that obstacle; thank
you very much.  The worry is how a regular "Joe User" is supposed to do such
thing.
