Bug#648893: perl 5.14 conflicts with libjson-pp-perl on /usr/bin/json_pp

[Steffen Moeller]

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-3
Severity: important

I issued an "aptitude install perl" on a fairly recent unstable
installation and got very early

 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/json_pp', which is also in package libjson-pp-perl 2.27200-1

I fixed the with --force-all and a subsequent removal of libjson-pp-perl. My hunch
is though that this was an oversight in debian/control which should conflict and
possibly provide libjson-pp-perl now.

Thanks

Steffen
